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

    I agree with OnPurplex!

    I researched MS comments regarding this and their main point was that it was too costly and would take too much development time.

    I can't believe in 2024, we can't even customize something so simple as where the taskbar can be positionned in windows11. Since I've started working with windows I took the habit of putting it on the right..... this is ridiculous

    That has got to be corrected.... sorry, bad call

    Hi there,

    Allowing the taskbar on the side is a big advantage and therefore Microsoft should have this made available. Besides that it is more convenient for some, it also comes with the practical benefit of showing more open windows that I can select from before they get stacked.

    Usually softwares get smarter and offer more options, not less. I don't understand why Microsoft wants to decide on my behalf what is better for me. It should be as customizable as possible because people work differently and it should be all about efficiency for the users who pay for the software.

    Hi John J. D.,

    Yes, please elevate this issue for those of us whose businesses have disabled the Feedback Hub. This seemingly small change is making the new windows 11 miserable.

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, please fix this. I need to hide the taskbar and it doesn't work. This is a terrible design flaw.

    No design flaw here:
