    Check Softpedia for Explorer Patcher. My tech guy told me about it & I have been using it for months now. It is a small registry edit file that recreates the Windows 10 taskbar format

    It's been two years now Microsoft since you've heard from many people that they want the unlock and other features of the taskbar back like it was in Windows 10. How long will you ignore your customers? This is an easy fix and easy win for you. Please make it happen ASAP!!!

    So while using Google to search for a way to unlock my taskbars so that I can move two of them to the areas I was used to on my first and third screen with Windows 10, I started watching a video of software you can download to give Windows this feature back and I realized that the Windows button on the task bar wasn't centered in the video of the person's desktop screen (it was on the left of the task bar as I've gotten used to over so many versions of the Windows Operating System). Mine is centered. When I started thinking about it as I looked at all my taskbar icons being centered instead of to the left of the taskbar, I started asking myself, "Where have I seen this before?" Microsoft, I have a suggestion for you. Stop trying to be Apple. You have your own unique ideas that are better. You're better then that. Stop it! Give us back the things that made us unique please. Thank you.

    This is the stupidest more arrogant thing MS has ever done. I have had my task bar vertical on the right side of my screen for over a decade now some idiot designer at MS decided that nobody wants this? How do I revert to Windows 10?

    I run three monitors and task bar at the bottom doesn't work well for me. Vertical on the right side of the middle monitor has been ideal. Such a simple feature why remove it?
