Windows 10: task bar left side of screen

Why did MS take away the feature to move the task bar to the sides of the screen. I have been using a surface with a wide screen since the surface 2. I always put the task bar on the side of the screen. Now we cannot do this. Very disappointed.

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?

Task bar

Hi SidneySherwood ,

Access the administration of the task bar

Right click on the task bar and select task bar Settings

Already within the configuration: in the option of task location on Screen you can see a list:

Bottom, Right, Top, Left

Most likely, it is in the "top" option.

Change it to Bottom and you can have it again at the bottom of your screen

Let me know if it helped you.
