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

    Microsoft is so **** backwards - continues to remove functionality and customization.

    OneNote is far less a program than when I first started using it. And now Windows 11, won't let the taskbar be moved???

    On a small laptop screen, my vertical space is more important than my horizontal space. So yeah, scroll more and use the mouse more - makes so much sense (NOT!)

    Oh, but you can hide the taskbar is the reply.

    Except half the time, it won't hide which renders certain apps unfunctional! Like when the send button on an email is hidden under the taskbar that refuses to budge (hide like it's supposed to.) So then I need to manipulate what windows are showing, minimize windows, all manner of stunts so I can click a button!

    such an efficient use of my time.

    think I'm frustrated? yeah.

    Why does MS keep improving its products by making them worse?

    How many customers have to complain?

    Tried to find an answer. Someone suggested explorerpatcher from Github which now comes with a warning that Microsoft will treat it like a virus. Well played MS. You killed the PIM market many years ago. If you can't buy it, you kill it. Antitrust? MS - the innovation killers.

    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!

    Microsoft better fix this asap. There is absolutely no reason this shouldn't be an option unless some moron is in charge or incapable of the Windows 11 dev... I am absolutely not moving to Windows 11 if this isn't fixed morons.

    What I don't understand is why they did this?
