Totally agree with you but what we can do? This topic is almost 2 years old. For me its clear that MS just doesn't want to restore vertical taskbar, its their intention. I dont understand their reasons. I think at some point in the future somebody will develop windows shell (now its explorer) replacement.
How to move taskbar to vertical position in windows 11?
How do I move the task bar from horizontal position to vertical position? Company just installed windows 11 and I can't seem to figure out how to move it.

If only there was a way to install it on my work machine.
