Windows 10: Removed Taskbar alignment in all directions in Windows 11

In previous version of Windows 10, the taskbar positioning has an option to fit in all directions Top, left, Right, Bottom, but after upgrading to Windows 11, the feature was not found and placed only at the bottom. Generally i used to have task bar Positioned at the Right side of the screen when I used windows 10, but that feature was not found in windows 11, So please include that Taskbar positioning feature in a future Update of Windows 11

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.
