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 agree with OnPurplex!

    I researched MS comments regarding this and their main point was that it was too costly and would take too much development time.

    +1 to let us move the task bar. I've gotten used to putting it on the side of the screen since it takes up less real estate when you have swarms of applications open. I'm tired of all this control

    Please change this feature and let us move the taskbar to the left or right! I've had my taskbar on the right-hand side for years, and now I am losing productivity trying to retrain my brain to look at the bottom of the screen.

    I am so worried this also going to happen to me with my productivity. Please fix this feature!! I have worked with my taskbar at the top of my screen for over a decade and loved it that way.

    EVERYONE - really Easy way to solve this, using an add-on Application similar to Classic Shell. If you dont know what classic shell is, it doesnt matter, this other App works on windows 11 with or without Classic Shell installed.

    Oh...and its developer-based and FREE!!! I'd recommend getting it before its not free. Or before MS finds a way to make it not work (They wouldd Never do that woulod they?)

    WindHawk allows you to install itself and then you install the "Taskbar On Top For Windows 11" Mod. Installed without a hitch on 2 of my windows 11 laptops and 1 PC station and I see no issues with it...other than, of course, MS tries to scare you while installing it because its Non MS...we all know, MS doesnt like anything non MS, but once again, GOOD developers fix the things MS seems to constantly ruin or mess up.

    I cant post links but to find it - do a search for WINDHAWK, I installed Windows 11 Start Menu Styler, then once installed, within WindHawk, you search for MODS, and find the "Taskbar On Top For Windows 11" Mod and install. Wait a few seconds, and the task bar moves to the top. Now, to be fair, you still cant just move the task bar around, its locked to the top...but WindHawk already has us covered - there are other Mods, such as "Task Bar on Side for Windows 11".

    Hopefully this helps everyone, I havnt even gotten around to the other mods or settings, I just wanted that dang task bar on top where its been for 30 years!! :-)
