Windows 10: Taskbar icons changed locations, I didn't touch any settings

Taskbar behaviour has changed for me. I have things set so that taskbar shows wide icons view of the apps that are open, in the same location on the taskbar as the app. But now the windows explorer icon shows on the furthest right, not where the folders icon is. Little screenshot below might illustrate better.

See the folders icon on the far left, now showing opened on the far right.

How do I get the open folder to display back on the right?

Taskbar location

Hi Todd,

Sudden changes in the location of the taskbar can occur due to misconfiguration in Windows settings. But you don't have to worry, you can modify the location where the taskbar will be displayed. Follow these steps to change the location of your taskbar:

• Right click on your taskbar.
• Choose Taskbar settings.
• Look for Taskbar location on screen. The drop-down button under it will let you choose your preferred location for the taskbar.

Small icons setting won't change

I suggest that you change or uncheck Use small taskbar buttons by following the steps below:

• Right-click the Taskbar.
• Select Properties.
• In the Taskbar tab make sure that Use small taskbar is
  uncheck.
  
  
  
  
• Click Apply and OK.

If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

• Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
• Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
• Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.

Let us know how it goes.
