    Taskbar locked icons?


    It may be a dumb question, or maybe I'm the only one who wants this, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

    Is there a way for icons on the taskbar to remain locked on the left side, while when I open an app, the window opens on the right side of the taskbar instead of where the icon is?

    Because when I open a software, it pushes the next icons further right to allow room for the window, and when I have several software opened, it becomes a mess of icons and windows.

    I did a quick search, and I can't find a solution to this, maybe I didn't type the right search words, or maybe no one else but me wants this. But it's been bugging me forever and I wish there was a fix for it.

    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
