    Microsoft, Please fix this and stop removing vital functionality from your Windows releases. Do you even ask your users what they like and don't like about Windows? 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!!

    Hear hear! It's insane to me that this still isn't fixed. I downgraded back to Win10 because the hack described in this thread started borking Windows upgrades after a while. I don't know how to get them to listen to us.

    Hello Jennifer,

    Honestly, I believe we are stuck with the taskbar at the bottom on Windows 11.

    If you browse backwards through the pages of entries, you will find a post and video on:

    How To Move Windows 11 Taskbar To Left Side Of Screen Requires installing a patch from "GitHub" called "ExplorerPatcher."

    I'm not big on letting an executable from an unknown source alter my Windows registry, but some people swear by it, so here's the tutorial link below.

    This is not the download.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CED25OhKPjI&t=142s

    Google this: explorerpatcher GitHub and browse through the 182 issues reported.

    One user indicates the file was detected as TROJAN:Win64/Malgent!MSR

    I understand with 24H2 the ability to do the prescribed modification goes away.

    I personnaly have not tried the "GitHub" fix.

    Dan

    Nice of you to do a video to install Explorer Patcher which is the solution everyone is looking for.

    You should do the follow up video now on how to limit Windows 11 from installing 24H2 or later, while also maintaining security patches. In 24H2 Microsoft has decided to prevent users from being able to do anything but taskbar at the bottom. Microsoft knows what's best for you obviously.
