    ATTENTION: Purposely, by design, the entire TASK BAR in Windows 11 is FIXED to the bottom of your display. Period.

    You cannot move it. It is just another example of designing Windows to look more like a Mac.

    I can accept that the bottom position could be the default in Windows 11, but it is absolutely stupid on Microsoft's behalf to remove the flexibility of moving it to the side, which was already built into the user functions.

    Next should be mouse functions!

    Left-click executes, right-click provides 7 other options. Let's get rid of the right-click, it might intimidate an Apple user!

    The. Most. Valuable. Real Estate on the computer screen.

    And MS F***s it up.

    There's now a narrow slit of screen left for what I'm trying to look at. Just an incredible F up....

    I second this!!!! It's what I wanted to say! How this could be implemented reveals a very obtuse company. There is a 3rd party software type patch, but why should we have to do that with all the unnecessary risks, time, etc. I cancelled my Sirius membership when they "improved" their app, ditched all my favorites etc, and made it completely unusable without a lot of my time wasted. Unfortunately we can't cancel Microsoft. Or I would.

    This just moves the items on the taskbar to the left. I want to move the whole taskbar to the left side of the screen like we could in windows 10

    This advice does not answer the question - it moves the information on the taskbar to the left of the taskbar whereas the question was, how can you move the taskbar to the left of the screen? I imagine that many people would want to move the whole taskbar to the right or left of the screen; I can't imagine many people being bothered about whether the icons on the taskbar are left- or centre-aligned.
