Describe the bug

The search menu on the taskbar does not appear in the middle when both the taskbar and start menu are centered both on the default and the Explorer Patcher taskbar.

Expected outcome

When the search glyph is pressed on the taskbar, the search pop up opens in the middle just like the start menu.

Actual outcome

When the search glyph is pressed on the taskbar, the search pop up does not open in the middle unlike the start menu.

Open up EP Properties application and select taskbar on the left side. Please show a screen shot of the settings you have set.

The point is, that when the taskbar is centered, there is an option to center the start menu and it is working but I can't say the same for the Search menu. Instead of being fully centered, like shown in the image provided, it opens the way it would if the taskbar was on the left. The issue persists with both the Windows 10 (Default) and Windows 10 (Explorer Patcher) taskbar. Apart from centering the taskbar, enabling the weather widget and centering the start menu, no other settings are changed. Let me know if you require more information.

@Thundercom-Inc The Windows 10 search menu was never supposed to be located on the center, which makes it look misaligned

and right now we don't have plans to fix it
