Windows 10: When will Microsoft fix the Taskbar alignment issue with Windows 11?

I know that adjusting the taskbar might seem like a simple request, but for many industries, having the ability to move the taskbar to different locations on each monitor is extremely beneficial.For example, in my work, I find it easier when the taskbar is positioned on the right side of my left monitor and on the left side of my right monitor. This arrangement allows me to easily grab applications without having to move away from my current focus.For my third monitor, I usually have the taskbar at the bottom. This monitor is primarily used for monitoring applications and is rarely interacted

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.

  Properties,
