Windows 10: When is a fix planned to correct the restrictive taskbar/system tray in Windows 11?

To accommodate and provide end-user usability, the functionality should be restored enabling positioning along the right and left sides. This optimizes and accommodates screen geometry, which is restricted in the y-axis.Auto-hiding does not resolve the issue, as users enjoy visual access to the bar/tray.

Taskbar Tray icon not showing

Always a good idea to read Blog posts for the known issues.

• [NEW] After upgrading to Build 22610, the “Show hidden icons” flyout in the system tray may disappear completely for some Insiders, even though it shows as “on” under Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and “Other system tray icons”. We are investigating the issue. As a workaround if you need access to the icons that would show in the “Show hidden icons” flyout, you can go right-click on taskbar to open the Taskbar settings page, navigate to the “Other system tray icons” and individuals toggle specific apps to “On” until the issue is resolved.
