How to Customize the Windows 11 Taskbar

Change taskbar items, alignment, behaviors, and system-tray options.

Quick Answer

Right-click the taskbar → Taskbar settings and review the available controls.

Step by Step

  1. Save any open work before making changes that could close programs or restart Windows.
  2. Right-click the taskbar → Taskbar settings and review the available controls.
  3. Test the result before making additional changes.
  4. If the problem remains, note any exact error message before restarting or changing more settings.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Windows menus can vary slightly by edition and update level.
  • Avoid registry edits, third-party cleanup utilities, or disabling security features for ordinary troubleshooting unless there is a specific verified reason.
