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.

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

please fix. no need to force users into a sub-optimal use of screen space.
i never understood why anyone would want their taskbar at the bottom.
as a software dev having all vertical space for my content is paramount.
