    @MSTF

    I spent a lot of money on my my monitors. As a developer, vertical screen space is extremely valuable and scarce. Not being able to move the task bar impacts my productively. At least 5 other developers I work with are SUPER pissed about this since adopting windows 11. This basic capability has been available since Windows 95. Please fire whatever product manager made this decision and stop giving idiots positions of power. This is totally unacceptable.

    This is NOT the solution people are asking for, we want the Task Bar to appear on the left SIDE of the screen; not the justified left at the bottom of the screen.

    Greg is 100% correct! Why can't Microsoft leave its customer base be? Why make us choose between upgrading and features we LOVE AND USE?

    I place my taskbar on the left because it consumes less space (percentage) than on the bottom.

    Please listen to your engineers and not just marketing - there's a lot of power users that need this functionality (especially left or right pinned taskbars) as it acts as our toolbox, endlessly complicated but we can actually read it off and stack them up. Now we're limited to, what, 5 open items horizontally? You need to remember your user-base is much broader than the one-finger typers making their way to facebook - this simplified 'mobile' style didn't work in windows 8 either. Please fix this.
