This design choice eliminated accommodation for those wearing bifocals who sit more an arm's distance from the monitor and/or have multiple monitors. Having the task bar at the bottom means I must lower my head enough to read the taskbar with the top portion of my bifocals, or continuously refocus between distance and close vision for an item that isn't moving. Until a third-party workaround is available, those with this disability (which wasnt disabling until this feature change) will be singled out as NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH.
Why we can't move the taskbar in windows11. Can we bring the updates in this version, to move the taskbar position?
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

MS should reconsider and give us the flexibility to move the task bar around to ones liking. Every upgrade in the software should be backward compatible, if Win10 has it, there is no reason why Win11 should not have it.

2024-08-25T22:10:35+00:00 I have placed the taskbar at the top of the screen for as long as I can remember - through many iterations of Windows... As soon as I bought my first W11 machine (earlier this year) I was dismayed that I couldn't re-locate the taskbar. The default of Centre-Bottom I assume is to attract MacOS users...?
I now find that if I want to move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to move the horizontal scrollbar of a maximised window often results in the hidden Taskbar popping up - very annoying!
