While there are plenty of aspects to this new look, the centred taskbar is what caught my eye. I'm sure whether this will help anyone else, but it does seem to be behaving consistently for me right now, through multiple logout, sleep, and reboot cycles.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. Then, I made the following changes on the Position tab, to pull the taskbar into the right place:

Delay: 20 seconds, then click Remove and Create to recreate the task.

I got rid of that shortcut and switched to using the scheduled task on the Startup tab: Previously, I was starting TaskbarX with a shortcut in the shell:startup folder. So, this is a good enough solution for me right now.īelow are the specific changes I made to get things working again. I fixed that using a negative offset that pulls the taskbar back to the left, and the result looks basically like it did before I patched Windows. However, even with that delay, the taskbar still is not entirely centered. So, part of the solution is to delay the start of TaskbarX until after everything in the tray has fully started. If TaskbarX starts before the tray is fully populated, then it seems to get confused about the width of the screen and incorrectly centers the taskbar.

I also tested with TaskbarX v1.6.9, but got the same behavior.Īfter playing with this for a while, I've concluded that the problem seems to have a timing component and also seems to be related to the tray. I upgraded to TaskbarX v1.7.2, which fixed that problem, but then the taskbar wasn't centered.

After reboot, the taskbar disappeared completely. Yesterday, I pulled in the 21H1 feature update (taking me to build 19043.1237). I have a single monitor running at 2560x1440 resolution. I've been using TaskbarX v1.6.3 for about a year with no problems on Windows 10 Pro.
