Why we can't move the taskbar in windows11. Can we bring the updates in this version, to move the taskbar position?

Going to wait for windows 12 without this feature. Physically can't work so.

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.

Hi Warped Trekker,

My name is Umar, and I am happy to help assist you today.

The inability to move the taskbar in Windows 11 is a deliberate design choice by Microsoft. In Windows 11, the taskbar is fixed at the bottom of the screen, and there are no built-in options to relocate it to the top, right, or left sides of the screen. This change was implemented by Microsoft developers during the redesign of Windows 11, and the option to move the taskbar has been removed from the settings.

Also, it seems like you are experiencing an issue with the "Automatically Hide" taskbar function in Windows 11. When you have an application maximized and go down to the taskbar, it slides up to view it, but when you click back onto your application, the taskbar does not minimize and slide back down as expected. This behavior can be frustrating and disrupt your workflow.

To address this issue and provide feedback to Microsoft:

• Ensure your Windows 11 is up to date by checking for any available updates. Microsoft often releases patches and updates to address known issues and improve system functionality.
• Disable and Re-enable Auto-hide:
  • Sometimes, toggling the auto-hide setting can refresh its behavior.
    • Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings".
    • Turn off the toggle for "Automatically hide the taskbar" and then turn it back on again.
  Feedback Hub:
• Open the Feedback Hub and search for existing reports about the taskbar auto-hide issue. If you find one, upvote it.
• If there isn't a report, create a new one. Be specific about the behavior you're experiencing, including the frequency of the issue and any specific applications it occurs with.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Please submit feedback to fix this so we can have the option where it goes like we always have.

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
