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'd like to join the mob about the taskbar being locked to the bottom of the screen. File Explorer has views, edits, all functions on the top . Excel, Word, Internet all function on the top. Locking the taskbar to the bottom is silly at best and an offense to efficiency at worst.

    Do better, Microsoft.

    Hi Aijaz, I am John J.D., a fellow Microsoft user like you.

    I understand your frustration, and I'm here to provide information as a fellow Microsoft user. In Windows 11, the taskbar is designed to be aligned at the bottom of the screen by default. This design choice was made by Microsoft.

    Currently, you can only change the taskbar alignment from the default "Center" to "Left" by going to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors.

    If you want Microsoft to add this feature in the future, you can provide feedback using the Feedback Hub by pressing the Windows key + F.

    Would you like me to send feedback on your behalf instead?

    Please let me know.

    John J.D.

    I too prefer the taskbar to the right of the screen, not down the bottom.

    I tried to do a feed back but that is so complicated that I gave up.

    Can Microsoft please add in the next update the ability to move the taskbar, left, right, bottom or top of the screen.

    Got it on the sides, finallly. Migrated back to windows 10 Pro. 24H2 game crashes is what convinced me. No more issues and I got my taskbar in the right side.

    Sorry for the echoed, echoed echoed sentiment. Severely sight impaired person here, and this update forces me to now use another operating system. Beyond lame to freeze a taskbar after how many years? Not the best marketing ploy, I would totally give up the lame bells and whistles for this update.
