2 ways :

  1. Right click on the taskbar, un-check Lock taskbar > put the cursor at the edge of the taskbar, click and Hold > drag it down to the bottom > right click again, put a checkmark on Lock the taskbar.
  2. Right click on an open space of the desktop > Graphic Options > Rotation > 90%. Don't forget to " Lock the taskbar ".

    Thanks Jean this the most common sense and easiest way to get your computer back to normal. Unless you have an ultra wide screen, most people like the taskbar on the bottom. As far back as I remember with Windows and Microsft YOU CAN Rt CLICK INSIDE THE TASKBAR AND OPEN PROPERTIES. THEN CHOOSE WHICH DIRECTION.  No tugging and sliding and slamming the taskbar. Just click and go back to your day. Now put Jean's help note at the top so people can get the help they need.
