Hello,

I am facing so much of difficulties while working, as I am habituated to use the task bar position to top or right side of the screen. but Windows 11 doesn't have this feature to move the taskbar. Could you please bring this solution, to move the task bar.

Thanks

    We have around a dozen machines scattered about and all run 10, with the newer ones downgraded from 11 to 10. All users prefer TBaT and this is their choice of course. We are working on a security solution to continue 10 after EoS in November, and believe a custom firewall solution is the answer. Long live TBaT and unfortunately, a dozen people using Windows - do not want !!. All were asked to try it and basically within seven days they vomited over it. It truly is the most unfortunate step backwards which mankind ever took. I can prove this - more 10 are installed than 11 sold. Wake up M$ - it's a disaster being hidden behind bonuses. They all want their bonuses, if you know what I mean. Look boss, that's a mirage, everyone here knows that icebergs melt and that one has. It's not here OK. We built the most pathetic GUI ever and love ramming it down users throats. Most give up on it within 10 days but we have a wonderful hardcore of idiots who don't know or understand anything and they keep us in the bonuses which make our jobs and lives so wonderful. Windows 11, a death by fools.

    Yes

    please

    allow

    to move

    taskbar

    to the

    side.

    You see

    screens

    can be tall

    for vertical

    viewing

    which

    doesn't

    allow

    much room

    for systems

    and app

    tabs. And

    windows can be very wide

    that allows

    for vertical

    stacking

    of whole

    words

    that shoiw

    specific file

    names of

    the file

    open in an

    app. Rather than

    a cryptic icon.

    This is

    a very short

    sighted miss

    by MS.

    I hate my taskbar on the bottom. For many years I have used the taskbar on the top. It is ridiculous to lose the functionality to move the taskbar wherever I prefer it on my screen. I have yet to see a good explanation why it MUST be on the bottom other than MicroSoft decided to force it.....why, just because they can?!?!?!

    Unbelievable. Will there be an option to move the taskbar to the left side of the screen? or will it be permanently fixed to the bottom of the screen? I have used this feature since I can remember... having to reconfigure my brain to now click the bottom of the screen has been making my productivity slow down tremendously...

    Hopefully you all can add the feature again...

    I've habitually had my taskbar fixed at the top of the screen for several years. I'm going to have to rewire my brain too. I wonder what their dev logic to justify this forced behavior.

    If you want Microsoft to add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback using the Feedback Hub by pressing the Windows key + F.

    Would you like me to send feedback on your behalf instead?

    Please let me know.

    Yes, please, add me to your feedback list. Ever since I use a computer, I always had my taskbar on the left side of the screen, over 27 years of habits and optimization. I cannot understand how it would be so hard to just leave this as an option.
