The Only Correct Way to Configure the Taskbar in Windows 10

All right, I’ll just come out and say it: there’s only one correct way to set up the taskbar, and I’m tired of pretending there are other options. Left-aligned. Small taskbar buttons. Never merge. Always show tabs.

No centered icons. No grouped windows. No oversized buttons that waste space. The taskbar is supposed to be a practical tool, not a decorative display case.

If I wanted a Mac Dock, I would’ve bought a Mac a long time ago. I’ve seen people use a centered layout and merge tabs, and I honestly don’t understand how they manage it. Without an extra click, how do you switch between multiple windows of the same app? Or even tell at a glance which windows are open?

In short, this is clearly the only right way. Can anyone prove me wrong?
