I do not have a second monitor, one person said this worked for him :  Update : I found the issue , I had to change some Transluscenttb settings to get it worked. It's fine now , Thanks for trying to help me

I was "forced" tonight to install MS W11 as an "update" to W10. I never approved it. My newest PC has W11 because it installed it when I turned on the PC for the first time (5K pc with RTX 4090 graphics and high end CPU), I just accepted it. But I have other RTX 3090 installed PCs, one on a Race Sim full motion cockpit and a flight sim cockpit which I reject W11 every time when asked. Last "update" to W10 I'm left waiting for an hour and I have W11!!! I never approved it! What the hell?

I ran into this taskbar thing, so despicable of MS. My flight sim has two wall mounted tv's, one on top of the other, vertically. I use VR and use TV's for web pages and spreadsheets that assist my game play. Task bar on bottom is not acceptable, but unlike Win10, I can't do anything about it in Win11! What is this nonsense? I need the task bar on the left side of the screen, vertically mounted displays don't work well with bottom "hidden" task bars. But MS decides to keep on taking options away and telling me how I should use my PC in their opinion. This is so ignorant. What idiots are on the UI team? Stop the "let us simplify it" and give us back our options. Boy I miss the DOS days, I could do so much more with that.

I agree. I only use my laptop for emails, internet, spreadsheets etc (no gaming) but all computer screens are landscape format - taking away a strip at the bottom (and there is already a strip at the top used up with tabs) means you end up looking at a narrow strip of screen across the middle and have to scroll down more. I'm not a technical person so I can't follow some of the suggestions people have made to solve this problem. Whose idea was it to take away the option to move it? It's really annoying.
