Windows 10: Dock task bar on left side of screen

Windows 11 has a serious flaw from a user perspective. The horizontally bottom docked taskbar is awful. For over a decade I have had my taskbar docked on the left side of my screen vertical as it is more efficient for managing my open windows. I understand this could be accomplished with a registry change on an earlier release of Windows 11. Now it is completely broken and can only be accomplished by downloading dubious 3rd party apps. When will you fix this so that Windows allows this personalization again?

Cannot modify Task Bar settings

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will be happy to assist you.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• Right click on the Task Bar.
• Uncheck the option " Lock the Taskbar."

Hope this helps.

 

Windows icon at left in the task bar fails...

.

The directions to fix this problem should read:

• Go through all the motions to create a useless account.
  
  Log Out and log into your usual account.
• The start button will now work for left click
• The task bar icons will now work for right-click.
• When you hover over the task bar open icons, the images will not get stuck on the screen which used to make you hover over another icon in the task bar to get them to disappear.
• Now you have to go in and figure out how to repair your Outlook because it got all scrupped with the new yet fake eddress but that is an entirely different operation.

P.S. How did my choice to use the unordered list end up skipping that second line?

Is this another MS feature?
