2025-03-25T19:00:21+00:00 I wanted to share my feedback regarding the absence of a vertical taskbar in Windows 11. I have relied on a vertical taskbar since 2007, and it has significantly enhanced my productivity over the many years, especially when using multiple monitors. It allows me to access programs without having to move my mouse across all the screens.
I kindly request that you consider reintroducing the option to position the taskbar on the left, right, or top of the screen. Currently, I find Windows 11 quite frustrating without this feature. While I understand that Alt + Tab is available for switching between programs, it becomes less practical when I have numerous applications open at once for my work.
Thank you for considering my feedback.
Best regards,
Anna

It pushes the prompt to update from Win 10 to Win 11 only to instantly degrade the user experience with this joke of not being able to keep the taskbar in a vertical position.
Why am I not even surprised a lot?

2024-12-01T19:26:04+00:00 I am writing to express my frustration with the taskbar customization options in Windows 11. I am extremely disappointed with the removal of a crucial feature.
In previous versions of Windows, it was possible to position the taskbar vertically on the left or right side of the screen. This flexibility was essential for users like myself who manage multiple windows and prefer a vertical taskbar for better screen real estate management. The fact that this option is missing in Windows 11 is incredibly frustrating and has significantly disrupted my workflow.

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.
