    • More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

    Windows 11 desktops with the taskbar positioned vertically on the bottom, top, left and right side of the screen.

    not happy with the windows release here.

    windows should have thought about retaining those before they release that update.

    i effectively work, same as the others having our task bars on the left side vertically. :(

    Are we to ask nicely to have a vertical task bar?

    May we please have features already available in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP.......

    All those smart people always ask "how do you want to improve Windows?" and they just change things to show that they will do whatever they please.

    Why does Microsoft even ask?

    Just for appeasement, I'm sure.
