Please do send feedback! I've been working with the taskbar on the left side of my screen for over 10 years and now I can't!!!! Do you know the loss of efficiency this is going to cause?!?!?!?! Why in the world would they take this choice away? SMH
Why we can't move the taskbar in windows11. Can we bring the updates in this version, to move the taskbar position?
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

2024-09-18T18:25:04+00:00 I'll add my voice to the chorus and here is why:
- The laptop I am using has plenty of width but not so much height (1920x1080). I can't afford to lose vertical space but I've got plenty of width.
- More importantly it is a touch laptop and the natural way for me to use it (as right-handed) is to have a permanent taskbar on the right and click it with my thumb.
- I also have a Surface Go2 where it is even more important. It is almost impossible to press the taskbar at the bottom of the screen due to proximity to the keyboard - so it goes in the right as with my (work) laptop.
For this reason I downgraded my Surface Go2 to Windows 10 where I can put the taskbar on the right and also use Tablet mode while the keyboard is connected. Windows 11 continues the long wrecking of the touch experience since the demise of Windows 8. Perhaps if Microsoft made a tablet PC with a keyboard that made it difficult to press the taskbar they may have understood the problem... (Oh wait - their whole premium line of 2-in-1s suffer from this self-inflicted fail!)

2024-09-06T16:10:30+00:00 Please add me to the list to return proper functionality to the task bar. My task bar has been at the top ever since Win95. It makes no sense that Windows 11 should not have this capability.
