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 have replied bellow feedback as suggested.
    Hope this help microsoft to change there decision and bring back task bar movement to left,right or top as needed.
    Request other to post same feedback using pressing "Windows+F" to notify Microsoft.

    As Microsoft windows 11 user, Many I spoke are used to have task bar align to right (not task bar alignment). Main looking for right side task bar. taskbar at top/left/right other then bottom of screen.

    I have been missing many notification as my eyes are usually my eyes concentrated on top of screen with task bar at bottom.

    Advantages of have task bar at right/left.

    Many important apps pinned have notification are visible with upper part of screen.

    Task Name are horizontal and allows to have lot many with stacking them on vertical task bar. Ignoring task icons.

    Mouse cursor is swift to move to top right to select app or start button to open them.

    Much larger horizontal screen while task bar is at right as much screens are narrow horizontally but vertically long.

    With word or excel taskbar horizontal space reduces much due to its Icon or ribbons. leading much lesser screen space horizontally

    Hope this mentioned points help to take decision and allow this feature back.

    What is really annoying is when the Windows Insider Program update email drops.

    Full of all these wonderful new features introduced such as the latest with Hello improvements, Studio and Teams yet they can't step back and look at a fundamental issue such as restoring the functionality broken by the introduction of Windows 11.

    Come on Microsoft, take time out from the pretty bells and whistles and revisit the basics in the Desktop environment.

    Unfortunately, you are right. Wanting feedback is always lip service for these companies. They don't really mean it. They have a plan and will only course correct if there is a hewn cry among the little people such that it impacts their quarterly profits. Microsoft does not have that problem. They don't care. They don't need to care. And, in their defense, most of their UI decisions work well for most people. But here is one that could be improved for many people.
