Hello,
How do I unlock the taskbar in Windows 11?
Thank you.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Are you **** me? Get rid of windows 11 and just stick with updating windows 10. I've been looking through the settings for about 15 min now trying to figure out how to unlock my taskbar just to find out it's not even possible to do in Windows 11? Whoever designed this program needs to get fired and then bring back the Windows 7 team. This is pathetic for a multibillion dollar company.
If you are able to send MS Feedback. Please ask them to reinstate the unlock taskbar functionality to Windows 11. I want the ability to move the tasbar/system tray to the top of my screen due to visual impairment issues.
Unlocking the taskbar is not negotiable. It must UNLOCK. I need all the real estate on any monitor. There is always more horizontal width than vertical length. My taskbar has been on the LEFT side of any monitor always. Without that so called feature windows 11 is a large step back.
I have not had any of those problems And the display of the name is an option in the taskbar settings that you can turn that off
I am with you. I love it on th right and would love to figure out a way to do this. I am sure there is a registry hac out there, just need to find it.
