Hello, as you can see from the imge below the icon in right side of the taskbar are to distant from each others.
Do you know a method to put them more close to each other ?
Thank you.

EDIT: I'm running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (build SO 22621.2361).

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

The icons to the right are the ones in the System Tray, this is always at the far right, you cannot change this. The icons to the left are on your taskbar, either pinned or running apps. You have your taskbar aligned to the Left, you could try changing the taskbar alignment to Center.

Change Taskbar Icon Alignment in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to change how your icons are positioned on the taskbar for your account in Windows 11. Icons on the taskbar are center aligned by default in Windows 11 instead of to the left like in previous Windows. You can choose icon alignment for every taskbar position...

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
