    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!

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

    I have just upgraded to Windows !! and now find that I cannot unlock the taskbar or even adjust the taskbar, or even minimise the icons that are in the taskbar. Clearly someone in Microsoft thought disabling these features was a great idea without consulting with the user community, judging by the post in this community.

    When is this feature going to be reinstated? I find it extremely useful and now I have to waste more time looking through the hidden icons menu.

    Not good enough I am afraid: this is definitely a retrograde step.

    Diane
