How to Move Taskbar Icons from Center to Left in Windows 11

For the Windows versions that came out before Windows 11, taskbar icons have always been neatly aligned onto the left corner of the Taskbar space. But Windows 11, just like its other user interface enhancements, made a wonderful change to bring a cool look to its Taskbar as well. In Windows 11, all the Taskbar pinned icons are neatly centralized, giving it more of an Apple look. It’s very elegant and greatly designed.

However, not everyone likes sudden changes, especially to frequently used components like Taskbar. If you are one of those conventional users, you might want to get your Taskbar icons back to their positions. This article is all about how you can easily move the Taskbar icons from the center to the left position by following a very few steps.

Step 1: Right click on an empty space on your Taskbar.



Click on the Taskbar settings option next.
