    Some sources suggest....

    • Open Registry Editor (type regedit in the Start menu).
    • Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3.
    • Find the DWORD value named Settings, and change its value to 01 for top, or 03 for bottom.
    • Restart Windows Explorer for changes to take effect

    Just had Win 11 forced on me and now have the menu bar at the bottom.

    As a developer this is unusable with 10-12 apps open, I am going to be severly hindered until this is fixed.

    Such a retrograde step, please stop removing funtionality.

    I have 3 screens.

    I want the taskbar of the left screen on the right, on the main screen bottom (no programmer here :D) and on the right screen on the left.
    It feels like Windows 8 all over again, where we had to install third party-programs to have the efficient UI back.

    Sadly in a corporate environment installing programs isn't easy or allowed.

    this is very very unfortunate. u CANT.

    Use Start11 to customize the start menu with almost the exact same settings as windows 10: https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ 

    to revert to win10 taskbar, use StartAllBack to revert the taskbar to windows 10 with curved corners, do some consistency fixing within WIndows 11, and fix Windows Explorer: startallback.com

    In case anyone else is interested in this stardock "Start11" recommendation, don't waste your time - there is no option for a vertical taskbar, only to move it to the top or bottom of the screen.
