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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Let me decide how my screen should be laid out. Like most folks, my screen is horizontal/landscape format so having the taskbar on the right/vertical gives me more viewing space. It's quicker for a right-handed user to have the taskbar on the right, and for left-handed to have it on the left. Give us control back - I will not upgrade beyond Windows 10 until this glaring example of ignorance of user-needs is fixed. Thanks
It seems to be a common trend with Windows to make software worse before eventually bringing back old features. Take Skype, for example. It became nearly unusable for five years, losing 70% of its user base. Now, they've finally restored the functionality of the old Skype, but unfortunately, everyone has already moved on. It's quite amusing in its own way.
They appear to be doing the same thing with the new Outlook. They've removed much of the functionality to make it more web-based, catering to users who might prefer simpler interfaces. Why not just include an option to toggle an advanced version? This way, they could accommodate both users who favor simplicity and those who appreciate more robust features. It's frustrating to see them strip down software and remove functionalities that many value.
I doubt we'll see these functionalities return anytime soon, which is quite sad for longtime power users.
I keep hearing that it was a design choice by Microsoft.
But my big questions are by whom, and why?
Is there some fundamental design change to the desktop that prevents it?
Is it double speak for "the intern who did this had never used windows except for gaming"?
Has Microsoft ever given any clues?
yes PLEASE give back the option to reposition the task bar, after years of using the taskbar on the left hand side of my screen this is making me VERY unproductive...
Probably the most requested fix on the Windows Feedback Hub and apart from an early unhelpful response absolute silence from Microsoft on the matter.
After we are only users, why should we matter?
