    On Windows 10, is it Possible to Lock or Freeze the Position of the Taskbar Pinned Items?


    The order of my pinned icons is frequently rearranged as I open multiple programs throughout the day. Has anyone found a way to put a lock or freeze on the position of those pinned icons to prevent accidental rearrangement?

    :)

    Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

    Thanks for your reply.

    Just in case this was a result of a poor description of the problem by me, I will explain in detail.

    I have Excel permanently pinned to the taskbar. When I right click the Excel tile, the context menu shows a list of Pinned items at the top and Recent items below that. I believe these are called jump lists.

    When I hover over an item on the Pinned list a push pin (), overlaid with a no entry sign (), is displayed to the right of the item.

    I can click on the pin to unpin it from the pinned list.

    Under Windows 7, I was able to left click on an item in the pinned list and drag it up or down to a different position in the list. This drag and drop functionality has never worked for me under Windows 10. As I noted in my original post,
    the only way to resequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

    Do you know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

    On Windows 10, is it Possible to Lock or Freeze the Position of the Taskbar Pinned Items?

    Windows 10 Pinned item not working HELP!

    Something I've experienced relating to taskbar in windows 10 ,is for some reason ,when you have it set to "lock taskbar", it can cause problems. try unlocking the taskbar, and maybe changing the "auto hide" setting ,and see if that helps possibly. These were issues that were patched out of earlier versions of windows 10 but maybe it has something to do with your issue as well.

    Are you on the most recent version of windows? Everything is up-to-date?

    Did you try the fix I posted earlier?
