This is wrong. Setting "Taskbar alignment" to "Left" only aligns the taskbar icons to the left side of the taskbar. The taskbar stays at the bottom of the screen.
how do u move the taskbar to the left side of the screen

Almost every developer I know has had a need at one time or another to move their task bar to the side of their wide screen in order to free up vertical space.
And while you're at it, how about adding accessibility features back that you removed from the new Outlook!!

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.
I agree with you 100%.
