I’d recommend creating a folder on your desktop called “Toolbar” and saving it into there. This will prompt you to save it somewhere. To start, right click on a blank space on your taskbar and hover over “toolbars”. If you’d rather not install anything extra, there’s still an option for you, but it’s a bit more faff and doesn’t include any of the style or adjustment features as taskbarX. I don’t want to install any software – what can I do instead? To avoid having to run taskbarX every time you turn your computer on, make sure you create a Taskschedule through the Startup tab in the configurator. If you installed through the Microsoft Store, just search “taskbarX” in the Windows search bar and the configurator will pop up. Double click to run that, and you’re presented with a host of customisation options, from taskbar style to adjustment animations. That’s not all though – go back into that folder and find “taskbarX Configurator.exe”. All you need to do is click “install” and it does all of the above for you. The installation process is slightly easier through the Microsoft Store.

Double click on that, and your taskbar will magically float to the centre! Windows might double check if you want to run the file – click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. This will create a new folder with the same name, which will have an executable file in it titled “taskbarX.exe”.

To do so, go to where it was downloaded to, right click, and select “Extract all”. If you go through the website, you’ll download a zip file that you’ll need to unzip. If for some mysterious reason you’re wary of downloading unknown software from strange websites, you can get the exact same software from the trusted Microsoft Store – but it will cost you £2. This method uses a piece of software called taskbarX, which you can download here. If you’d rather not install anything, you might prefer the second technique, which just requires you to fiddle with some Windows settings. This first one is a lot easier, although it does use some third-party software. Here’s how! How do I centre the taskbar in Windows 10? Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t offer a direct setting centre your taskbar – but it’s not too hard to get around it. While there are plenty of aspects to this new look, the centred taskbar is what caught my eye. There’s plenty to look forward to in the upcoming release of Windows 11 – brand new features, faster updates, and, of course, a sleek new design.
