How to move taskbar to vertical position in windows 11?

Accessibility ImpactAs a neurodivergent user of Windows 11, I would like to point out that, by removing the ability to have a vertical taskbar, you have created an accessibility problem for many users.
Because I have an ADHD brain, I benefit from having things "at the point of performance" and being able to see things where and when I need them is critical to my continued productivity. This means that when I need something, I need to be able to see it. When I am required to search across grouped/collapsed windows or when windows has moved my needed application to the "..." because it wouldn't fit on the taskbar, I've been virtually kneecapped. Furthering my frustration, when an application icon has been moved to the "..." area, I can't move it so that it appears next to the other applications on the main taskbar area. It's just stuck there ...out of sight and out of mind.

Please do make it a priority to restore the ability to orient the taskbar vertically.

I later found out that function is NOT available in 11. Smart(?) people have to change things just show they can do it. If it ain't broke, brake it by any means necessary... as THEY say with pride!

At least, it can be moved over with its 'behavior' adjustment... language they use, even, is creepy.

Please windows development team, Help us overcome this uncomfortable feeling of having a horizontal taskbar while our body screams to get one vertically aligned.. Team Vertical would be very grateful! thank you

Dear Microsoft Team,

I am writing to express my deep frustration with the fact that, in Windows 11, the taskbar cannot be moved to the right side of the screen in a fully vertical orientation. This is not a minor inconvenience—it is a critical usability flaw that significantly impacts my workflow and productivity.

For years, Windows has allowed users to customize their taskbar placement—a fundamental feature that enabled people to work the way that best suits them. As a long-time user who depends on a right-side, vertically stacked taskbar, this forced restriction in Windows 11 is not just disappointing, it is outrageous.

I should not have to “get used to” an arbitrary design decision that actively makes my work harder. I rely on a right-side vertical taskbar to:

• Optimize screen real estate, especially on widescreen monitors.
• Improve accessibility and efficiency by keeping icons and information in a familiar, natural place.
• Reduce unnecessary mouse movement, enhancing speed and ergonomics.

By removing this option, Microsoft is disregarding years of user preference and workflow adaptation. This is a step backward in customization and flexibility—one of the defining strengths of Windows.

I demand that Microsoft immediately prioritize restoring the ability to move the taskbar to the right in a fully vertical layout. This should not be a difficult technical implementation—it was already a core feature in previous versions of Windows.

I sincerely hope Microsoft listens to actual users rather than forcing unnecessary restrictions upon them. Please take this complaint seriously and address this regression in functionality as soon as possible.

Looking forward to a response and, more importantly, a solution.

Best regards,
Todor

In case you didn't hear us, every word of Todor's post is unequivocally correct, and an abysmal embarrassment for Microsoft.

If you keep this up, the collapse of Microsoft in the business realm will be swift and merciless. I have been hunting for a viable replacement to Microsoft, and you continuously provide me reasons to spend more time on this effort.

Nothing says Windows 11 is an ALPHA release like a slew of mods that make the program infinitely better. Over half of the mods in existence are designed to bring back the most loved features you so desperately wished to stop supporting, and many are the most benign features that show you wish us to use the product your way. This is no better than Apple, all we need now is some expose revealing some devious plan to force users to buy more Microsoft tech.
