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

    I would love you to submit feedback for me. So far as I can identify on a replacement keyboard I do not have a windows key.

    I have been waiting for them to fix this, because I do consider it a problem. I did download Windows 11 when invited to do so. That lasted about 10 seconds. I reverted back to Windows 10 immediately when I saw the task bar would not move. I did not even look to see what other changes there were.
    I figured I would wait for Windows 12 to get a new computer unless they fixed this, but I just got the email saying there won't be any support for Windows 10 after October.
    Just please tell them, that this would be a good cause to change to MAC at the first sign of trouble following that end of support timing unless 12 is out or on the way and allows moving the task bar. If the task bar is at the bottom it might as well be in the trash for me.

    This is the 3th year of shame, where MS is not able to prepare functionality which thousand of people is used to use. Saying that it is not worth the effort is ridiculous.

    I'm still using W10 or Ubuntu, which are more stable and requires less resources which i need for development environment.

    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.

    "deliberate design choice by Microsoft"? Did they consider users opinion? Let me remind MS that we are actually paying them big bucks for this!

    One other thing I noticed today. When using Microsoft Teams you have to hide the task bar so you don't share with your viewers what tasks you are working on - good luck with that and good luck finding the application you are trying to present in your meeting.

    Basically this design FLAW doesn't even work correctly with their own add on products. What a cluster!

    MS can do better than this.
