Windows 11 Taskbar unlock

Hello,

How do I unlock the taskbar in Windows 11?

Thank you.

New user of Windows 11.

I have always first thing moved the Taskbar to the right side of the screen in order to have more downward scrolling space. This is important for Excel programming and creation of large and complex Word documents.

Other convenient functions have been removed, such as saving MS Office files in recently used folders. When you try to save an Excel and Word file it always starts with some remote place, taking important productivity time away from you. This function was already removed under Windows 10.

What kind of corporation takes functionality away from their customers?

Only a monopolist who is unable to listen and has no interest in interaction.

Time to find a new OS.

I don't know why Microsoft continues to 'improve' key functions in their operating system. They are often stupid beyond belief. I hate MS because when they say that a ? ? has been upgraded, beware!

In Windows 10 and earlier, when using a computer for the first time, I always unlocked the taskbar, expanded it by two levels, and then I was able to see all my icons and the date, time, and, I think, day of the week.

Now, on a new computer with Windows 11 installed, I can hardly believe there is no way to unlock the taskbar!

Isn't that typical Trina M H. What seems to be a single problem suddenly becomes 2 problems........ Thanks for the Update!
