Windows 11 Task Bar Location

Question

I updated to Windows 11 a while ago and had my taskbar setup to be at the top of the screen, but Windows did an update and reset it to be at the bottom and now I can't get it to go back to the top. I've tried the Registry Editor hack that worked before multiple times but it's not working anymore.

Answer 1

With latest insider preview build (DEV) there is no more ANY WAY to move the bar in other location of screen.. with my current setup ( Samsung G9 C49G95 monitor 49" ) i have a bar that is 1 meter long completely EMPTY... i use it to drag'n drop images and videons on softwares pinned to it... and i need to move it on left or or right...
i hope that Microsoft will add the ability to move the bar (or reduce it) to not take space for my work.

very very unsatisfied about current layout.

Answer 2

In windows 11, taskbar can be set at center at bottom, or leftside at bottom.
