Windows 10: Is there seriously no way to move the taskbar vertical in W11? What do you have against...

It's a simple request, I place exactly zero value on your designer's choice to have it at the bottom. I'm the user. My choice matters, not yours.

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 in the way SOLUTION

Yes, but even in the picture you posted, the upper left of the taskbar blocks what would often be a back arrow < which is very annoying. If the taskbar did not go all the way to the corner, that would not be a problem. I am sure that Microsoft will fix this problem by the year 3072 in Windows version 807

 

vertical taskbar width

Hi Jim,

To be able to drag the taskbar and make it narrower the way you like it, please unlock it first.

To do it, here are the steps:

• Right click on the Taskbar and unlock it by unchecking the
  Lock all taskbars option.
  
  
• Drag the edge of the bar and arrange it according to your preference.
• Right click on the task bar and lock it again once done.
