Windows 10: How can I move my taskbar to be vertical on the left side of the screen?

My organization transitioned to Windows 11, and I was very disappointed to find that I am unable to have my taskbar on the left side of the screen vertical. Please advise on how to fix this.

moving the entire windows taskbar to the left of the screen in a vertical position

Are their plans to return option of physically moving the entire windows taskbar from the bottom of the screen to the left of the screen in a vertical position? Widescreen monitors have gained in popularity. I have been using two of them for a few years now. I love being able to have two office documents open side by side both at 100% and my task bar on the vertically on left side of the screen all on one monitor. I do not want the task bar taking up space at the bottom of the screen since I do not have much height to the monitor. Putting the taskbar in the vertical position on the left worked well in previous versions of windows. When the taskbar was on the far left of the screen (not just the alignment of the icons but the entire taskbar) I can keep the taskbar visible on the screen. Now I am forced to hide the taskbar even though I don't like it hidden. Having the taskbar at the bottom of the screen takes up too much room when you are working with an ultrawide monitor since those monitors are not very tall. Please bring back the option of allow the taskbar to be in the vertical position at the left side of the screen.

 

TASKBAR in the way SOLUTION


You can have your taskbar placed vertically to the left or the right of the screen.

Move the taskbar

• Right click in an unused area of the taskbar.
• Make sure that “Lock the taskbar” is unchecked.
• Left click and hold in that unused area of the taskbar.
• Drag the taskbar to the side of your screen on which you want it.
• Release the mouse.

 

taskbar on multiple screens (XP)

Hi, at work we use three screens, with XP installed, on the PC i was using before it had the taskbar on just the left screen and when i maximised a window it would fill whatever screen the window was currently on. The pc i now use, has a task bar stretched across the three screens and when i maximise something it will automatically fill the left screen. Is there a way to change either of these things as i prefer the taskbar on the left screen and to maximise on the screen the window is in. Thanks
