YOU... are an angel. Thank you so very much! I was forced into a windows 11 update and was absolutely livid when i realized i couldn't move the taskbar and found your post here. THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing the job that MS could have just done in the first place without us having to download extra stuff to make our pc how WE want it!

Why I use Apple not **** Windows... But work is forcing me to use this horrible system.. Not able to move it to the left is just ridiculous how are you even thinking Windows?

Basically, this is a killed feature. Just updated to W11 and am thinking about restoring a backup from yesterday.

I had my taskbars - one on the left, and one on the right with W10 - always closer to work than scrolling to bottom left. Probably my age, but left-right motion costs a lot less effort than up-down.

Why does Microsoft always do it's best to destroy a UI we are used to.

Why did XP fail (initially)? Why did W8 fail completely - changes to desktop noone really wants certainly helped there.

Still not as bad as the 'other' when it comes to breaking stuff with updates - but changing a 30+ year old UI feature - is just bad design, besides being unfriendly and uneasy to use.

This only moves the taskbar contents to the left. I wanted to move the whole task bar to the left of the screen, which you can do by unlocking the taskbar and then dragging it to the left of the screen.
