Why we can't move the taskbar in windows11. Can we bring the updates in this version, to move the taskbar position?

It really makes no sense to me why we can't move it to the top, where all of the action buttons are in all browsers and applications. It may make sense to MS, but maybe the idea people don't spend 12 hours a day on a computer.

If someone shares the links to feedback or any other place MS receives requests or complaints, please share. I will add my 99 cents to each one.

It’s a TERRIBLE decision for Microsoft to disable users to move taskbar to the top (or left or right). Obviously it was Microsoft‘s choice, but WHY???

I know I’m not the only one who hates this static task bar so please consider my request x10,000 others who probably haven’t gone through the trouble of expressing this dislike.

This takes so much screen real estate. Please allow us to move the taskbar again. this is something I would expect Apple to do.

Yes, please respond to MS - Once again they are trying to think for the end user and have created a crippling productivity hit. When the task bar is on the bottom of the screen subtle movements of the mouse cause the taskbar to "pop-up" and interfere with usage of spreadsheet controls (like sliders) which are at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Similar interference occurs with any application where the control menu is on the bottom of the screen. Please allow the return of the taskbar alignment control to the user.

I have been a long-term Windows user and Microsoft customer.

For many years the taskbar location feature was a prominent user enabled action and was used extensively by many power users to enhance their productivity.

People, especially power users, move the taskbar to the location they know improves their work processes, top and side, and yes, some still use the bottom, but those who do are not typical of the power user groups.

Why are people who use the bottom taskbar not in the PU group? Because the bottom task bar is counter-productive to move down 3/4 the distance of your workspace rather than moving up, or left, 1/4 the distance from your working position on that workspace.

Those movements are 1) time consuming, and 2) counter to reducing repetitive motion injuries. A majority of the people diagnosed with carpal-tunnel syndrome, a repetitive motion injury syndrome, use motions that are counter to effective actions. When these patients have the option to relocate how they work, they have vast improvements in their range of motion and injurious actions.

Having the taskbar on the top, by default, would follow EVERY application that Microsoft offers, other than the operating system. Why else are the application Ribbon and Quick Launch bars located at the top of the workspace, the same hold true for EVERY WEBBROWSER?

So in addition to providing a very common sense oriented reason, Microsoft would be maintaining its own product and application standard.

The very feature of locating the Taskbar remains in the Windows 11 registry, it is simply the functional configuration that is missing from the Settings. Those of use who are quality users of both operating systems and applications have observed the "capability" of relocating the task bar to remain as a data setting in the Registry. In fact it has been published for users who have control over their OS, the screen structure and includes the 4 values for task bar location; 0, 1, 2, and 3 with the default being 3 (bottom of screen).

This is a very surprising stall by Microsoft, who had this feature issue reported in mid-2021 to have not come up with a simple solution yet.

Please add this quite simple system feature back into an update, versus waiting another 4 years to recognize why people are trying and not migrating to Windows 11.
