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

Just what I was thinking. Windows ME all over again. So, when does Windows 12 launch? Just got Windows 11 installed by the company. Don't like it already. To not be able to adjust the Taskbar, are you kidding me?

That´s why I didn´t see myself moving to win 11 at all...however, my dear special laptop did that behind my back...reversing it right now sorry, Microsoft! It sucks! to live in a limited environment like all new coming versions of MS´s Windows OSes.

Totally agree with this. Work laptop just been updated from win10 to win11. I've lost so many features of windows that I used to make daily life easier. Some I can work with, but this one really is a pain.

Why would microsoft decide this and apply it with no rollback. I'm guessing they couldn't figure it out and just decided not to do it? Or it was buggy and decided it wasn't worth the effort to fix?

Honestly, win11 is so bad and win12 won't be long. It'll no doubt fix/correct/re-introduce what we've lost but we'll have to pay for it.

Thanks microsoft

I dual-boot Win 11 and Archlinux. This is far more difficult than it used to be before Windows 11, no thanks to them. But I digress from my point, which is that there is no good reason for eliminating the option of placing the taskbar wherever I want, and many reasons to retain that feature. Can I do that in Linux? Absolutely!

I remember hating the Macintosh computers we were forced to use in my early days of teaching, because they treated us like imbeciles with very little configuration available to the average user. At that time, I very much wanted the school to switch to Windows. They eventually did, and things got much better. A few years later, my son got me started with Ubuntu, and I was so much happier with the experience even though back then, Linux was still fairly clunky. Since then, Linux has gotten really good, Apple has gotten much better than they were, and Windows has gotten much more like Macintosh. The taskbar is but one example of moving away from user-friendly toward corporate overlord.

Why am I not buttering up Microsoft to persuade them to do the right thing? Because all evidence points to the high likelihood that they will continue their negative trend and not listen to the user whether we are nice to them or not. Also, because as Linux continues to improve, it will soon be easy to leave Windows behind, entirely. I now go months between logging into Windows, and only because I haven't bothered to configure my Linux to handle the odd program that I use that is only available for Windows. And every time I do use Windows, it's a bittersweet experience. The bitter is using Windows. The sweet is being reminded how much better my Archlinux is than what I'd be using, otherwise.

If I'm sitting with my laptop in tablet mode for drawing in my lap, the taskbar has to be at the top because if it's at the bottom on a touchscreen then everything keeps getting 'clicked' unintentionally. Have been waiting forever to get a new laptop, so excited, spent a lot of money, now devastated to discover something so fundamental now isn't an option. Why is it so hard to give people the choice? Really disappointed.
