Windows 11 takes a page out of Apple’s design playbook and features a taskbar that, instead of being off to the side, is smack in the middle of the toolbar. While some may like this change, others may not.

Fortunately for these others, a simple setting change can return the taskbar to its familiar place like on older versions of Windows.

## How to Reposition the Taskbar in Windows 11

So, you need to be logged in and looking at your home screen, naturally.

- In your taskbar, **right-click on an empty space**
- Select **Taskbar settings** in the resulting list
- In the right pane, click into **Taskbar behaviors**
- In the T**askbar alignment drop down**, adjust the alignment from **Center** to **Left**

But wait, there’s another option you have, too!

- Open the **Settings** app
- Select **Personalization**
- Access **Taskbar**
- Select **Taskbar behaviors**
- Again, using the **Taskbar alignment drop down**, adjust the alignment from **Center** to **Left**

Hopefully, this will make all those used to the left-justified taskbar a little more comfortable!
