Start TaskbarX Automatically with Windows

Use TaskbarX's Configurator to create a Windows startup task.

Quick answer

Use TaskbarX's Configurator to create a Windows startup task. This walkthrough describes the practical sequence for the original TaskbarX project, rather than promising that every option works on every Windows release.

Steps for this task

  1. Move the extracted program to a permanent folder.
  2. Open the Configurator and click Apply.
  3. Review the Taskschedule tab for the scheduled task.
  4. Restart Windows and confirm the process starts.

How to confirm the result

TaskbarX runs after sign-in and the icon group centers. For a positioning or animation change, inspect the taskbar before and after opening or closing a normal app window. For a startup or file problem, check the executable location and the Windows Task Scheduler entry.

Compatibility and recovery

Deleting or relocating the ZIP extraction breaks a task pointing to its old path.

TaskbarX is primarily a Windows 10 utility. If a feature is absent or unsupported, close TaskbarX, remove any unwanted scheduled launch task, and return to the normal Windows taskbar rather than installing undocumented patches.
