How do u move the taskbar to the left side of the screen?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The given answer is obviously wrong. Microsoft was too lazy and stupid with Windows 11, which is arguably the worst OS Microsoft has ever produced, to allow for the movement of the Taskbar. I've read that it can still be done by changing the Registry. That didn't work for me though. I can't wait to dump Windows 11.
That does not move the task bar to the side of the screen it only moves the buttons which are on the task bar, which remains on the BOTTOM of the screen.
How do you move the actual task bar, like you could in previous versions of windows. Some people do not want the task bar on the bottom of the screen.
This is incorrect. All this will do is shift the icons within the taskbar to the left side of the taskbar, as opposed to how they are normally centered on it. However, the taskbar itself will remain at the bottom of your screen. Previous versions of windows allowed you to simply click on and pull the taskbar to different edges of the screen which was very convenient. I've been searching on and off for days but can find no way to move the taskbar to any part of the screen other than the bottom when using windows 11. Very annoying as I'm using a setup with an auxiliary screen under the main screen which makes it nearly impossible to un-hide the taskbar :(
all this did for me was move the content of the taskbar to the left the taskbar is still at the bottom of the screen
Hi,
This is incorrect. That only moves the alignment of the icons/buttons from center to left. They and the task bar all remain on the bottom of the page. How can we get the whole taskbar to the left side of the screen where the icons/buttons are lined up vertically? This was always an option previously.
Does MSFT poll users when removing features or do they make that decision for the users? Do they do any real-life user testing?
Windows is supposed to be a helpful tool however it seems with each update, there are changes which require users to adjust and accommodate new limitations. Why take a feature away that is helpful?
