    Come on now MS, restore the option to have a vertical taskbar!! Vertical screen space is super important, why wasting it with the taskbar?! I am already regretting upgrading to windows 11 - which I would not have done if not forced btw..

    EXACTLY!!! Why can you not understand in MS - it is OUR decision where we want taskbar to be...what is so difficult in this? As Ilbuiz I would not have been changing to Windows 11 IF I KNEW and would not have been forced! The screen is rectangular, imagine how much wiser it is to have it in vertical position!!!! Really stupid to force people to follow your demand and idea!

    I agree also. Why remove something so trivial that is important to so many? My applications required the max amount of vertical space. I'd like the task bar to be on the left (vertical).
