how do u move the taskbar to the left side of the screen

This issue is the number one reason I will not "upgrade" to W11 as long as W10 is an option! Positioning the taskbar vertically on the screen's left (or right) border is the most efficient use of the computer screen. Vertical positioning allows plenty of space for more than a dozen open-program icons. Never having more than 6-10 programs open at one time, horizontal positioning of the task bar makes absolutely no sense to me. Perhaps MS's nerd programmers work with 20-30 programs open at once and need horizontal positioning. However, very few real-world folks need a mile-long taskbar that wastes the screen's limited space.

Why do you keep giving the wrong answer, you already know what people are asking for. We want to move the task bar to the side like we have been able to for decades. Why do you insist in telling us how to use our systems. This is why I can't DOWNGRADE to windows 11, because I can't seem to work with a chopped up version of a "modern OS" I have a laptop, and don't have much space in my screen, I need my vertical space, don't care about horizontal since there is so much of it... LET ME MOVE MY TASK TO WHEREVER I NEED IT TO BE. Please don't make me switch to a Mac when I need to get a new computer. They seem to make upgrades without chopping MacOS...

Works perfectly on my Windows 11 machine. Back to Windows 10 taskbar. Great ExplorerPatcher team to have fixed Micro$oft $tupid problems, W11 not as good as W10. Must be taking pages from MacOS systems of old!!! NOT PROGRESS just cosmetic ****!!!

Agreed. My Win 10 was just automatically updated to Win 11 and I cannot move the taskbar to the left side of the screen. Now my work is disrupted as I try to relearn all my methods. Thanks Microsoft!

Your answer is plain wrong! It should be, "No you cannot!"
