Windows 11 Taskbar unlock

I had that problem, too, so I installed an app called Start All Back. It has a minimal one-time charge... I think about $5. Well worth it to me and have been using it for nearly a year!

For everyone's information here, I did install ExplorerPatcher and I was able to unlock the taskbar and move it to the top of my screen where I like it, but I discovered I lost some other functionality. I rely heavily on Alt-Tab to cycle through open programs and docs, but it was lost under ExplorerPatcher. Also, the taskbar looked different, with the display of the names of open apps showing. It took up more space on the screen. So, I ended up uninstalling ExplorerPatcher. I get my Alt-Tab back, but the taskbar is back at the bottom of the screen... Just thought y'all might like to know. Let's keep the pressure on MS to fix this horrendous oversight!

This is shockingly bad by MS, get rid of the useless slow pictures on the desktop.

Re-instate useful basic function like customizing the taskbar.

Give us taskbar flexibility. NOW !!!!

I agree that the win11 taskbar lockup is a stupid short sighted mistake. We need MORE flexibility with the taskbar not less!
