How to keep task bar from shrinking when using remote desktop?

Solution 1:

This can happen if you have themes enabled on the target machine (in your office) and in your RDP settings you have themes disabled. This forces Windows to disable themes during the RDP session which includes resizing things like the taskbar.

Solution 2:

I keep my taskbar on the left and every time I log in remotely, it shrinks to one row (column), unless you make it occupy almost half of the screen, then it only shrinks once and keeps its size from then onwards. But who wants their taskbar to occupy half of the screen? I tried changing the resolutions (aligning host with server), but that didn't work.

Then I removed the Language Bar, and now it no longer sticks to fixed columns but can be resized by the pixel.
