Windows 11 - Move Start Menu to the Left

Importing…Windows 11 introduced a change, moving the start menu from the traditional bottom left of the screen to the center. This doesn’t bother some people😊, but others find it infuriating😡! If you are in the latter group, it only takes a few clicks to move the start menu back to the left.

    Click on the Start Menu.

    This will expand the Taskbar behaviors menu. There is a drop-down menu to the right of Taskbar alignment. Select “Left” in the drop-down menu.
