I was resorting the icons in my taskbar, and suddenly they grouped together and my whole taskbar glitched out. Found it kinda weird.

Also, whenever I open anything, the taskbar glitches and shifts around.

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

Funnily enough, yes, I had exactly the same issue today. I'm on 22621.2283 like you, and this was the first (and only) time I've seen it.
I restarted the PC and it went away. I've not been able to reproduce it, must just have been a one-off glitch that the restart fixed.

    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.

Why do I suspect the problem would only manifest itself if you've left the taskbar displaying its icons in the Center.
Try: Right click on the task bar, then click on Taskbar Settings. Once in Settings, scroll all the way to the bottom or the window, and change "Center" to "Left".

When your task bar icons are centered, anytime you do anything with them, logic dictates that the icons be re-organized.
Getting the icons back to the left side of the taskbar was the first thing I did, the first time I installed Win-11. Then, re-organization is not required.
