    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.

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

    Hi Microsoft,

    If you see this, I would also please like the option for the vertical taskbar back! Thank you!

    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.

    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.
