The Taskbar on Windows 11 has been revamped significantly, with the Start Menu and apps placed in the center, offering a fresh look and experience. However, Microsoft has removed the ability to move the Taskbar. In this article, I'll guide you through the simple process of changing the Taskbar position on Windows 11.
Note: Currently, it's not advisable to switch the Taskbar to the left or right as it may cause errors. Stick to moving the Taskbar only to the top.
1. Direct System Modification:
We'll utilize customization within the Registry Editor to modify the value and position the Taskbar where you desire.
Step 1: Press Windows + R to open the Run window, then type regedit and hit Ok.
Step 2: In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the path below or paste the access path into the address bar:
ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerStuckRects3
Step 3: Next, open the Settings window, focusing on the value 03 in the FE column. Now, modify the value 03 in the FE column as directed below:
- 00: This value will move the Taskbar to the left.
- 01: This value will move the Taskbar to the top.
- 02: This value will move the Taskbar to the right.
Step 4: If you wish to restore the Taskbar to its original position, simply return to step 3 and change the value back to 03. That's it!
