    This is a joke. I am on a corporate laptop and I can not install any mods, let alone use regedit.

    I NEED THE VERTICAL TASK BAR.

    Working on a 21:9 screen and a horizontal taskbar is counter productive.

    You can use Open Shell to enable a vertical taskbar. https://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/

    Looks like Microsoft will never do it. Tools such as startallback and ExplorerPatcher replace the whole taskbar, I didn't want that. The solution that I found is Vertical Taskbar for Windows 11 Windhawk mod.

    We need to resurrect the concept of 'User friendly'

    Umm.... it was available in Windows NT
    Worst...

    Windows...
    'operating'...
    System...
    Ev-er...
    (I'm including 3.1, because lets be fair, they were starting with a lot less)

    And the whole business of requiring TPM. They should allow TPM to be optional when certain old chipsets are detected. They could have allowed it. All that wasted silicon and manufacturing energy and metals.

    I hope Steam / Valve releases a supported OS for PC, and gets Nvidia and AMD fully on board. Then I'm ditching Windows all together, and going Linux for work.
    Its a shame. I used to be a genuine Microsoft supporter, even of some of their monopoly because it delivered everything working well together. I never resented purchasing an OS, when many didn't bother. Now stuff just doesn't even work 'period' (...giving you the side eye Teams). I hope Microsoft go subscription based for their OS, because I will see that as the ultimate 'instability' (risk/liability) and it will finally push me away once and for all.

    I can't understand why Microsoft has not incorporated a fix in Windows 11.

    I have to thank Fernando Pinheiro1

    I installed the patch https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher 

    After running the setup you have to check that the application is in your startup so that it runs automatically when you boot your PC.

    You can minimize the application so that it doesn't clutter your desktop thereafter.

    From my perspective it works a treat.
