    This is a feature that many users want, but unfortunately, it is currently not possible in Windows 11. I heard that Microsoft is considering adding this feature, but there is currently no way to adjust the height of the taskbar in Windows 11.

    Even if they let us move it would help. Whoever changed this should be fired ~ yesterday

    I have been unable to unlock the task bar too. I like my dropdown menus to drop DOWN and have always moved the taskbar to the top. MS is being a bunch of bullies by taking that away. I might return to Windoze 10 if I find any other losses of functionality.

    If so, unfortunately, Windows 11 removes many adjustment options from the taskbar. So the taskbar will always be locked and you cannot adjust it.

    But I heard that Microsoft is listening to users' opinions, and maybe they will make changes on this issue in the future.

    Thanks for your help. I'm looking to move the task bar up a little so I can see the day with the date. On Windows 10 I usually unlock the Taskbar and move the bar up one notch. Doesn't appear you can do that on Windows 11.

    I have had my taskbar on the right side of my screen for YEARS. I work remotely from home, and this affects my productivity. I will not be upgrading until you fix this feature, and I couldn't have said it any better than Default_207. Whose bright idea was it to remove functionality!?!?
