Windows 10: How to get the Windows 11 Taskbar Aligned on the Right?

Is there a way to make the Windows 11 taskbar like the Windows 10 version?I much prefer the apps and search aligned on the right.

:)

 

Mini-application icon moved to the right side of taskbar

Could you please try the following steps and let me know if it resolves the issue?

1. Open Taskbar Settings:
   
   • Right-click on any blank space on the taskbar.
     
   • Select "Taskbar settings" from the context menu.
     
2. Personalize Taskbar:
   
   • In the Settings window, navigate to "Personalization" and then "Taskbar".
     
3. Adjust Taskbar Alignment:
   
   • Scroll down to the "Taskbar behaviors" section.
     
   • Find the "Taskbar alignment" option and set it to "Center" instead of "Left"
     

 

Window 11 Taskbar icon Vertical Alignment

Hi AkolaJoy,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having problems with the taskbar icons not being aligned.



It looks like your taskbar is forced to use "small icons", please turn this setting off. Windows 11 does not provide such an option, and modifying the taskbar icon size through some unofficial methods may cause various errors.



The reason for the lack of alignment is that Windows 11 does not support small icons, and you can restore the taskbar icons to their default settings.

Hope it helps.

Window 11 taskbar auto-hide turning off

Hi seniorwilburr,

To specify a left taskbar alignment, do the following:

1. Right-click on the taskbar.
   
2. Click on "Taskbar settings".
   
3. Scroll down to "Taskbar Behaviors"
   
4. The first item allows you to align the taskbar to the left, center, or right.
   

For me, I have 16 items there that I use literally all the time, so it wouldn't help me.

Hope that helps!
