Windows 11 Taskbar unlock

What happens if one installs the Explorerpatch, and then MS decides to fix the taskbar problem? Can it be easily uninstalled? Will it cause issues down the road? I would prefer a native solution offered within the operating system then an addon. I do appreciate the effort though!

I always set the taskbar to the side, just to gain more vertical screen space, but now that is no longer possible.

Question: is Microsoft really monitoring this board, and are we going to have wait years before they do something about it?

You are very welcome. I could not understand why the changed it when the old style has the option to lock the taskbar if you want.

I got Explorer Patcher from my tech guy when i went into a new windows 11 pro pc when my windows 10 home motherboard died

Hi June,

That's lovely thank you. I don't have a live install of Windows 11 now but if I had then I would give that a try :) I think it's a bit much that people are having to patch their operating system to get it to work properly (especially when you're not great with computers like me!)

Thank you so much for finding this though :)

Hello Jay please see my reply to john kateley above for a solution that I got from my computer tech support guy.
