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

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.

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.

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.

Yes, Display Fusion Pro is the one I use, been using it since 2010. I have many computers at home that use multiple monitors and it has been very useful. Especially now with MS ruining task bar implementation with Windows 11 as they have. After 14 years, Binary Fortress Software has been pretty good at keeping up to date with Windows OS versions and changes. Just hope they add support for the primary task bar soon, because waiting around for MS to acknowledge that failing to support such a basic need is plain stupid and insulting to its past user base. I'm hoping it is just a lazy rush it out the door thing, but it has been quite a while now with MS ignoring this basic desired "feature" supported by their past OS versions. MS take on this just baffles me.

Actually, saying MS is redesigning the task bar code for Windows 11 is good news. The "advanced" feature of moving the task bar to where the user desires it might now be supported! That might be a really good bit of news.

Thanks.
