  1. How to move the entire task bar to the left of the screen


    Previous versions of Windows allowed users to move the Task Bar not just the Start Button to the left side of the screen. Why is this now no longer an option? Also, custom toolbars are no longer an option. I thought Windows 10 with Office was the most hostile user interface, but it feels like Microsoft took that as a challenge.

  2. 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?

    How to move the entire task bar to the left of the screen

    Address bar (top screen) & task bar (bottom screen) keep disappearing

    Most likely Tablet Mode, as dmholt57 suggests.

    Turn On or Off Tablet Mode in Windows 10

    Another posibility is accidentally pressing F11 which switches a browser to full screen mode.
