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

    Exactly, this will be a wonderful selling point for the next release.

    Take it away today and sell it later as an upgrade.

    I wish I could say it's unbelievable that the functionality of moving the taskbar was taken away in Windows 11, but it seems like Microsoft enjoys taking away completely useful parts of Windows during an upgrade so that they can feel like heroes when they later have so much negative feedback that they decide to reactivate it.

    Please restore the ability to move the taskbar sooner than later.

    Look up "Explorer Patcher" on Github, Microsoft hates it for some odd reason, but it does what everyone wants it to do. Reverting it back to how it looked and worked in Windows 10. It's a shame it always have to come down to the people to fix things that didn't need fixin' to begin with.

    No, the Windows 11 updates do not include the ability to move the taskbar to the top or sides of the screen; it is designed to be fixed at the bottom.Here's why and what you can do:

    • Microsoft's Design Choice: Windows 11's interface and animations are designed around the taskbar being at the bottom, and Microsoft has stated that moving it would require a significant redesign.
    • No Built-in Feature: There is no setting or option within Windows 11 to move the taskbar to the top or sides.
    • Third-Party Tools: While there are no official updates to move the taskbar, you can explore third-party tools like TaskbarX or Start11 to achieve this functionality.
    • No Plans for Future Updates: Microsoft has stated that they do not have plans to add this feature in future updates.
