Do you want an app that remembers where your program icons are after restarting the computer? For example, when I restart my computer and open Firefox, it shows up in a different spot than before, so I have to move every single icon back into the order I like. It would be cool if I could save the position of Explorer windows too.

As of now, you could try Display Fusion or DeskSoft to manage your Windows 11 settings.

Think about this: If you want to upgrade to Windows 11, make sure your important files are saved somewhere else first and that they can be fixed again. Also check if your computer is ready for Windows 11 or if it can even run it. Think of it like a new car that might need repairs before driving and isn't guaranteed to work well yet. Try treating Windows 11 as an early test drive where everything could change. Now, what are the current settings on the Taskbar? (Right click anywhere on the task bar.)

Yeah I've heard about it, but we're not ready to upgrade the taskbar yet. Here are my taskbar settings: https://prnt.sc/18a2ikx

Have you noticed I seem to have gone off track in some way? Just to make sure I get it right: when my icons on the Taskbar change spots from where they were before to a new spot, are those just different tabs like Firefox or website ones? Or maybe Windows Edge and Explorer tabs? Is there a pattern about how things move around? For example, do they sort alphabetically by name, or does order follow when I last used them? Check the Lock screen and see if the links show up in the Notification Area. Overall, keep looking at everything to make sure all my configuration settings match what I need or expect.
