LEFT ALIGN TASKBAR

Not feeling that centralized taskbar? Us neither. Sure, it looks all Linuxy and MacOSy, but let’s be realistic, we’ve been using Windows with a start menu on the bottom left for well over 30 years at this point, so why the heck change it?

There were a few early workarounds to solve it, including registry hacks. Third-party apps, such as Classic Start and Start10 from Stardock, popped up, but there’s an integrated way that’s a lot less hassle, and cheaper than Stardock.

Right-click the taskbar, select “Taskbar settings”, open the “Taskbar” tab, then click the “Taskbar behaviors” tab, and choose the “Taskbar alignment” option. Here you can move the taskbar to the middle or to the left, depending on your preference. Thank you for listening Microsoft.
