Center Windows 10 Taskbar Icons

  1. Right-click on the Taskbar. From the list of options that appears, deselect the “Lock the taskbar” option.
  2. Right-click on the Taskbar again. This time, you need to head over to “Toolbars” and select the “Links” option.
  3. For the third time, right-click on the Taskbar and ensure that both the “Show Text” and “Show title” options are ticked.
  4. You will see “Links” on the right side of the Taskbar with two vertical lines in front of it.
  5. Click and drag the two vertical “Links” lines all the way to the left side of the Taskbar. Doing this will shift all the pinned icons on the Taskbar to move over to the right side.
  6. Right-click on the Taskbar and deselect the options “Show Text” and “Show title.”
  7. You will notice that the “Links” text will be gone from the Taskbar.
