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

EVERYONE - really Easy way to solve this, using an add-on Application similar to Classic Shell. If you dont know what classic shell is, it doesnt matter, this other App works on windows 11 with or without Classic Shell installed.

Oh...and its developer-based and FREE!!! I'd recommend getting it before its not free. Or before MS finds a way to make it not work (They wouldd Never do that woulod they?)

WindHawk allows you to install itself and then you install the "Taskbar On Top For Windows 11" Mod. Installed without a hitch on 2 of my windows 11 laptops and 1 PC station and I see no issues with it...other than, of course, MS tries to scare you while installing it because its Non MS...we all know, MS doesnt like anything non MS, but once again, GOOD developers fix the things MS seems to constantly ruin or mess up.

I cant post links but to find it - do a search for WINDHAWK, I installed Windows 11 Start Menu Styler, then once installed, within WindHawk, you search for MODS, and find the "Taskbar On Top For Windows 11" Mod and install. Wait a few seconds, and the task bar moves to the top. Now, to be fair, you still cant just move the task bar around, its locked to the top...but WindHawk already has us covered - there are other Mods, such as "Task Bar on Side for Windows 11".

Hopefully this helps everyone, I havnt even gotten around to the other mods or settings, I just wanted that dang task bar on top where its been for 30 years!! :-)

Whoever though this was a good idea for a design choice should be fired on the spot. "Hey lets remove a feature that has been around for 20+ years! Nobody needs this!" Stop trying to make things better all the time, all you do is make them worse.

This broken feature (not able to reposition the taskbar) needs to be fixed. Please send feedback and prioritize the issue for me as well. This should have been fixed years ago.

hi John, please also submit on my behalf. I can not do it by myself as it's work PC and feedback settings are defaulted. I find it super annoying not to have this feature. it's something I used to over years. Now I need to make. Having taskbar on a side allowed to have multiple windows sorted, so I could switch between them in one click. Now I need to search them on the bottom. It requires a lot of attention from my side. Many thanks in advance

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE FURIOUS AND OUTRAGED AT MICROSOFT'S LACK OF ACTION!
I have used Windows for well over 15 years now.

Why they remove our ability to move the taskbar is beyond me.. I just laughed it off when Windows 11 dropped, I figured they would return this functionality well before Windows 11 became mainstream...

years later and not only have they done 0 to return the ability of moving the task bar... THEY'VE MADE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THEIR ISSUE FOR THEM USING REGISTRY EDITS!!!
Now the only real way of having your taskbar be moved in 2024 on Windows 11 is via 1 of 2 third party software providers who CAN DO THIS.
If there was some legit issue preventing the taskbar from being moved on Windows 11, tell me why I've been using Startallback for the past 1.5 years WITH NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER. Taskbar is on the right of the screen and guess what Microsoft.. IT WORKS. I'm astonished at Microsoft's inability to act on this issue.

My office is now forcing all of us to upgrade to Windows 11 and it's taking an arm and a leg to get IT to approve the startallback software on a work laptop. THIS ISSUE IS 1000000% THE FAULT OF MICROSOFT AND NOONE ELSE. FIX IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE MICROSOFT.

People will be furious when the work laptops they've used for decades no longer is covered by Microsoft's security enterprise updates, and they are forced into this Windows 11 limbo.
