To move the taskbar to the right in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by selecting the Start menu, which is located in the bottom left corner of the screen. You can simply click on the Windows logo icon or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
2. Once the Start menu opens, you will notice a search bar at the top. Type “Settings” in the search bar and click on the Settings app that appears in the search results. Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + I on your keyboard to directly open the Settings app.
3. The Settings app will open, and you will see various categories listed on the left-hand side. Look for and select the “Personalization” category.
4. After selecting Personalization, you will be presented with several customization options in the right pane. Scroll down until you find the “Taskbar” option, and click on it.
5. In the Taskbar settings, you will see different options to customize the taskbar’s appearance and behavior. Look for the “Taskbar alignment” section.
6. By default, the taskbar alignment is set to “Bottom,” which means the taskbar is positioned at the bottom of the screen. To move it to the right side, click on the drop-down menu next to “Taskbar alignment.”
7. From the drop-down menu, select the “Right” option. As soon as you select this option, the taskbar will automatically move to the right side of the screen.
8. You can also customize the taskbar’s behavior by toggling on or off various options like “Automatically hide the taskbar,” “Show badges on taskbar buttons,” and more. Feel free to explore these options and adjust them according to your preferences.
9. Once you have made the desired changes, you can close the Settings app. The taskbar will now remain on the right side of your screen.
Moving the taskbar to the right side can be a personal preference for some users, as it allows for more vertical screen space. This can be particularly useful for users who have widescreen displays or work with multiple windows simultaneously.
Remember that these steps are specific to Windows 11, which has introduced a new design and layout compared to previous versions of Windows. If you’re using an older version of Windows, the steps may be slightly different.
I hope this detailed guide helps you customize the taskbar in Windows 11 to your liking!
