General Rearrange Taskbar Icons in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to rearrange icons on the taskbar in the order you want them for your account in Windows 11.

When you open an app that is not pinned to the taskbar, its icon will always appear to the right of your pinned items.

While you can rearrange icons for open and pinned items on the taskbar in any order within this section, only pinned items will stay in the order you last arranged them in.

You can also rearrange notification icons on the taskbar system tray in any order within the system tray area.


Here's How:

1 Drag and drop the icons of open and pinned items on the taskbar in the order you want them within this section. (left area boxed in red in screenshot below)

2 Drag and drop notification icons on the taskbar system tray in any order you want them within the system tray area. (right area boxed in red in screenshot below)




That's it,
