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

    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.

    Hi John J.D.

    OMG

    I was NOT aware I JUST upgrated to Windows 11 from 10.

    I hate the taskbar at the bottom, driving me crazy and it cuts down on the height view on my laptop.

    I am surprised Microsoft went and took away that feature from us!!!

    Please let them know for me J.D..

    I may NOT have upgraded had I known. I do a LOT of genealogy and I NEED that extra height to screen copy docutments, sometimes to get it all in I have to remove the bookmark bar.

    NOW, it is even MORE imposible.

    I hate this new laptop, and now too I am thinking I hate this upgrade to Windows 11.

    Dear Salfiumar,

    Can you please find someone who can justify the removal of this personalization option and have them explain it to us in thread? Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    I agreed with Mark Scott how long it is going to take for someone to do something. I've been receiving notifications for this request for months,I would like to say that I'm disappointed.

    No, the Windows 11 updates do not include the ability to move the taskbar to the top or sides of the screen; it is designed to be fixed at the bottom.Here's why and what you can do:

    • Microsoft's Design Choice: Windows 11's interface and animations are designed around the taskbar being at the bottom, and Microsoft has stated that moving it would require a significant redesign.
    • No Built-in Feature: There is no setting or option within Windows 11 to move the taskbar to the top or sides.
    • Third-Party Tools: While there are no official updates to move the taskbar, you can explore third-party tools like TaskbarX or Start11 to achieve this functionality.
    • No Plans for Future Updates: Microsoft has stated that they do not have plans to add this feature in future updates.
