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

    There are functional and ergonomic reasons to move the taskbar. IMO the most useful taskbar position is at the top because everything we do happens on the top 1/3rd of the screen. File menus bookmarks, address bar, minimize, x-out, browser navigation, on and on I can go. However, if I want to interact with the OS I have to drag my mouse all the way down to the bottom. If I want to check what app are open, see the time, date, widget info, I have to look at the complete opposite side of the monitor that I spend 80% of my day looking at.

    In a 16:9 the majority of the screen real estate exists on the sides. Makes sense but I don't care but the bottom is the stupidest of all places for the taskbar to be located. Microsoft only put it at the bottom to make it different from Apple and Unix so they could file copyright. Just ask Bill.

    Please for us efficiency freaks, let us move it to the top!

    Came here to find out how to relocate the taskbar to the right side of my screen where I have had it for... over two decades? So, like everyone else, I'm disappointed to learn that this functionality was removed at an early stage of the redesign. Did they think it was for our own good or something? Please undo.

    Sincerely,

    Jonathan

    Hi John,

    Please add me as well for reporting this feedback to microsoft, I have always been used to seeing the task vertically on left side of my screen. Have to re-wire my brain now to work as per microsoft default no change setting.

    Thanks,

    Mo

    Yes also send feedback on my behalf. I tried to submit feedback about this issue but kept getting an error. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
