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

    While I'm not sure that Microsoft even monitors this site (I haven't seen any evidence of it in the last 1/2 dozen replies...) one can only hope that the large and growing number of dissatisfied customers might gain at least a modicum of attention. I heartily agree with a previous observation that with this limitation, Windows 11 becomes a downgrade rather than an upgrade. They've been allowing the task bar to move for, I'd dare say, the previous half a dozen versions of Windows - and a significant percentage of their customer base prefers moving the task bar. It seems either the height of hubris or at best the worst of negligence to do nothing about fixing this problem.

    Design choice of MS is not practical . If you would locate taskbar on left or right side you may squeze more apps horizontally and and read the app/file names on the same time.

    Unfortunately this a community helpdesk, there is no evidence that Microsoft even look at this let alone respond to it.

    In fact there is little evidence that they pay much attention to the feedback hub which is their nominated channel of communication, I don't count the limited platitudes they add to feedback given as a constructive response. The one covering this issue has been ignored for over a year now.

    Yes please issue this feedback, I understand they took the decision to make the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, as usual - but why remove the option to move when there's a decent percentage of users making use of the ability to relocate the taskbar - it's an option that people wouldn't accidentally come by so the users utilising the feature are doing so because it is useful.

    As others has said this creates a drop in my productivity and is detrimental to my health as the design is no longer ergonomic for the extended periods I'm looking at the computer at work.

    Please reinstate the option to relocate your taskbar.
