This is incorrect. That only moves the alignment of the icons/buttons from center to left. They and the task bar all remain on the bottom of the page. How can we get the whole taskbar to the left side of the screen where the icons/buttons are lined up vertically? This was always an option previously.
Does MSFT poll users when removing features or do they make that decision for the users? Do they do any real-life user testing?
Windows is supposed to be a helpful tool however it seems with each update, there are changes which require users to adjust and accommodate new limitations. Why take a feature away that is helpful?

Your procedure simply ALIGNS the contents of the task bar either center of left WITHIN the task bar, which is FIXED in position to the bottom of the display.
In Win10, the task bar could be positioned on the left side (left edge) of display.
Absolutely ridiculous this option was removed. Trying to force the Apple/MAC appearance on us.

2023-09-27T22:52:32+00:00 Yep. Seems like Windows 11 doesn't let you move the taskbar (just the icons).
I'm sitting here completely unable to use my email, because the taskbar at the bottom is blocking my ability to click the send/save buttons.
(I can't make the taskbar hide, even though I have "Automatically Hide Taskbar" selected)
Kind of amazing that Windows 98 worked great, and 25 years later, I can't even send an email.
