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

    Keen to join in on this feedback! Most ergonomic assessments recommend the taskbar be moved to the top or side of the screen to prevent people having further neck issues by looking down all the time!

    Due to neck issues the taskbar at the top of the screen is a "must have" for me based on an Occupational Health & Safety assessment I had forever ago.

    This conscious decision by Microsoft is disturbing and without obvious regard to the health and safety of its users.

    What concerns me is there is no work around to prevent new, or recurrence of, head & neck health issues!

    I would like to join the growing chorus in asking that Microsoft PLEASE reinstate the option to move the taskbar wherever the heck we want it! Why we are being dictated to as to where this company thinks its millions (billions?) of unique individual users should ALL have to look to see their respective taskbars is far beyond me. Give the people what we want -- especially when all we want is what we had before. A no-brainier if I've ever seen one, duh! 🤪

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

    Please add me to the feedback/complaints list.

    One of the things that keeps me with Microsoft products is the wide variety of customization capability; please leave such forced "design choices" to Apple. To be clear, I'm not averse to Apple, and there are a many people who prefer a static view with minimal customization. I personally prefer to arrange my setup in a way that works best for ME.

    To chop customization is to take steps backwards; in my opinion, it's very disappointing.

    The bottom task bar is causing me all kinds of grief. When chat windows open I cannot move them, and they are hid behind the taskbar. Setting the taskbar to auto hide just has it jumping up the second I get to type in a response and then unable to respond. Set the features of this to behave as they did in windows 10
