Even after setting the taskbar to two line view ( so I can see the complete day, date and time ) and locking it, it always reverts to one line view after a reboot. This has occurred with each release of W10 TP I've tried, does anybody have a solution for this.

To fix the issue where the taskbar reverts to one line view after a reboot in Windows 10, you can try the following steps:
  1. Registry Modification:
    • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
    • Navigate to the following key:
      Code: 
       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3
    • Find the Settings value in the right pane.
    • Right-click on Settings, select Modify, and change the value data to 03 00 00 00 (by default, it might be set to 02 00 00 00).
    • Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer to see if the taskbar layout is retained.

    []Taskbar Settings:
    • Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar.
    • Go to Taskbar settings.
    • Check if the Lock the taskbar option is enabled.
    • Try enabling and disabling the two-line view or resetting the taskbar layout.
    [    ]Third-Party Tools:
    • Consider using third-party taskbar management tools that can remember the layout and settings you prefer for the taskbar.
  2. System File Checker (SFC):
    • Use the System File Checker to scan and repair system files that may be causing the taskbar issue. Run sfc /scannow in an elevated Command Prompt. By trying these methods, you should be able to set the taskbar to two-line view and ensure that it retains this layout after a reboot in Windows 10.
