Microsoft to reveal what's next for Windows on June 24. While everyone was curious about what is coming next, a Chinese portal leaked that information along with a Windows 11 build 21996. The information that we know so far, Windows 11 is going to come with a new Taskbar and Start Menu layout, new icons, and more.

 

If you don't like the new Taskbar layout, Microsoft allows you to reset the position to the classic left-aligned. In this post, we will learn how you can change the Taskbar layout from the center position to the left position.
