Windows 10: lock taskbar in win 11

Hello,I can not figure out how to lock the taskbar to the left of the screen in win 11. It is super easy in win 8 and 10 but I can not even get a clue to do that in win 11.

Lock the Taskbar in Windows 11

My Taskbar buttons change position too easily as I move across the Touchpad and keyboard. I want to lock them so they stay in the same order. I would also like to change the height of the Taskbar as it takes up too much of my screen. I checked on this site and there are a couple of answers that suggest this is not possible in Windows 11. If that's the case, how is Win 11 an improvement on Windows 10.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

• Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
• In the search box, type Settings
  
• SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
• Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
  "(Recommended)”.

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
