When can we expect the taskbar to be movable to any of the sides of the screen like it used to?

All Windows versions before 11 used to have this option. I just want to move the taskbar to the side of the screen. That's it. That's all. On a horizontal/landscape screen ratio, it frees up a bit more vertical screen space. Why keep it hidden so that I need to bring it up, just so I can check one notification icon? It's probably coming, isn't it? You're probably not going backwards instead of forward, right?

    Hi,

    My Taskbar isn't Hidden. Have you checked your Settings:

    Add a Suggestion to the Feedback Hub using WIN+F.

    Maybe someday they'll make it moveable again.
