With the release of Windows 11 in 2021, one of the most criticized changes to the system was the relocation of the Start button to the center of the taskbar. Initially, there was nothing that could be done about this change. However, in later versions of the system, there is an option to restore the button to its classic location.

The following description is based on Windows 11 version 24H2.

To restore the classic icon layout on the taskbar, use the system Settings. To do this, click on the Start menu and select Settings from the available options.

Start Windows 11

The next step is to find the Taskbar settings. To do this, click the Personalization button on the left.

Next, find Taskbar in the list and click on it. You should now see an item called Taskbar behavior in the list. After expanding the settings, one of the options will be Taskbar alignment. From the available settings, select Left.

Start Windows 11

From this point on, the Start button and icons on the Taskbar will be aligned to the left, as in older versions of Windows.

Start Windows 11
