Under Taskbar behaviors, you will see the setting for Taskbar alignment. This will display your current alignment setting. Selecting the arrow to the right will show you both alignment options, which are left and center. Select the alignment option you want.

When you select either left or center, the taskbar alignment at the bottom of the screen will change immediately. You can then close the settings window without saving.
