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

    Another vote here for allowing the Task Bar to be moved to the right and left sides of the screen.

    I cannot understand why Microsfot would remove this feature - sufficient to say it was the first (of many) serious frustration when my organization forced the upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft, why do you do this? removing simple features that are so widely used?

    Please add this function back like the hundreds of comments here requested. I'm sure there are thousands that feel the same way but didn't have the time to write comments.

    Please unfreeze the taskbar!!! Some of us have been using this feature from the beginning. I work from top to bottom, left to right. Having it at the bottom and not allowing the choice is the dumbest "fix" or design decision Microsoft has made in my opinion. Why does Microsoft care? Worst customer service is to offer something and then remove it. Poor choice Microsoft.

    Sorry for the echoed, echoed echoed sentiment. Severely sight impaired person here, and this update forces me to now use another operating system. Beyond lame to freeze a taskbar after how many years? Not the best marketing ploy, I would totally give up the lame bells and whistles for this update.

    Thing is that this goes beyond user preference. OLED screens are very susceptible to burn in if they have to display a graphic (LIKE A TASKBAR) in the same place for long periods of time. CNN logos etc affect TVs. So now that we are forced to have the taskbar in the same place ALL the time, Microsoft is implementing a software constraint that is going to damage our hardware. This could constitute damage to the thing itself (economic loss) owing to Microsoft's negligence in removing this feature for no good reason knowing we have no alternative. The damage is absolutely foreseeable.

    TLDR: Do yourself a favour Msft, and re-enable this before you're replacing oleds!
