    And why the hell did the stupid mother **** at Microsoft take this BASIC functionality away? Why? Why was that necessary?! Don't take away basic **** everyone is used to, punishing millions of people for NO reason and call that an improvement. IT'S NOT.

    You can use ExplorerPatcher: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher Tutorial is here: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/how-to-make-windo...

    Once again, you will assume the risk if you want to venture out for third party option as it is not recommended.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately that's not possible via Windows settings. It appears to be an unpopular move, but Microsoft doesn't provide any method to change the taskbar other than color, icon alignment, it is not possible to move it somewhere else or change size, etc.

    You would have to look for third party option, however, I personally warn against using third party option, as it can cause integrity issue and clash with Windows update sometimes.
