How to move taskbar to vertical position in windows 11?

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.

We use displays with 2560x1080 too, and for them it would be definately better the vertical taskbar..

Same problem. My organization forced me to update to Windows 11.

This is a clear productivity issue for me.

Postponing the upgrade to Windows 11 as long as possible on my personal laptop.

100%. I typically have 10 to 20 windows/apps open. The horizontal task bar is absolutely useless when attempting to identify what window is what. This reduction in capability will keep me from upgrading as long as possible. I only found out since my government issue laptop updated. I guess I'll simply keep windows 10 at least until Oct 25.

To support the statements above.. this is not a hyperbolic complaint. The amount of work and context switching I need to do would make 90% of the population cry. This is a major handicap.

Fingers crossed someone will come up with a 3rd party solution.

"ALT-TAB" is a half-way solution for anyone looking for a consolation prize.

Seriously!? It's a joke that you can't change the taskbar in the system settings to fit vertically. There's nothing left to do but download the patch from github and, on occasion, implement a patch to block telemetry and scripts that track our work on the computer. I do not understand the approach of removing functionality that existed and was widely used in previous versions of Windows. It's probably time to switch 100% to another operating system like Linux.
