    Hello,

    There is a Git Hub project called "Explorer Settings" by some and officially named "Display Patcher."

    I contacted Star Dock, asking them to include this ability in the next update to Start11. Start11 is outstanding, especially for those still wanting to use the Windows 7 start menu.

    Their reply was to tell me the method used by "Display Patcher" would stop working in 24H2. Microsoft is redesigning the taskbar coding.

    I don't know how this will affect "Display Fusion," hopefully, they will keep up with Microsoft changes and keep their product working.

    I'm considering "Display Fusion Pro."

    Thank you for your information. I appreciate it.

    I have a third party app (Display Fusion) that is a multi-monitor app that supports task bars on additional monitors. This runs on Windows 11. On additional monitors, I can move their task bar to the left of the screen, on Windows 11.

    However, they don't support replacing Windows 11 task bar on the primary monitor, though they have received requests to do so for possible consideration in future features.

    Windows 11 developers won't let us "move" the task bar as we could in previous OS versions, but even third party apps that support task bars on non-primary monitors can move their task bars, anywhere. How sad is that?

    Come on MS, get your act together and fix this glaring flaw.

    At least I was able to click to the last page to find that Microsoft has turned a deaf ear to the requests of its users when it comes to moving the task bar.

    New Windows 11 user as of last week and it further demonstrates to me why I should explore another OS next time I buy a new computer.

    Atrocious.

    Just had to upgrade to Windows 11. I had my taskbar laid out on the left side of the screen AND a completely customized start-menu window that has all disappeared. <removed by Moderator>
