    PS Wouldn't it be nice if the team of MS experts had known this answer from the start? The reason the never do is that they're trained to give the MS answer only. That's what they always do best, and of course, that will always lead to the mess you find here.

    I think you are giving the independent "MS Experts" way too much credit. They probably just have the answers saved for the previous versions of Windows and never check if it works in the new version, or even have the new version installed.

    No problem. I Wish MS could hear us and improve this.

    I tried that. The instructions given in GitHub say to set the properties there, but you don't have to do that. The taskbar now behaves as it did in Windows 10. You can drag it to any position you want.

    Thanks so very much!

    This works for me:

    1. Download and install https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
    2. Settings: "Primary taskbar location on screen: left"
    3. Click "Restart File Explorer"
