Windows 10: Why can't I move my taskbar to the side of the screen vertically? I've been using Windows...

Why can't I move my taskbar to the side of the screen vertically? I've been using Windows for years this way and it works best for me. Sounds like there are many users out there with the same preference and user style. Please explain the rationale for not including this feature and when this will be fixed.

win 10 update leaves vertical pink line on screen

today i applied latest win 10 update and now i have a vertical pink line on screen, it remains on every screen. i have tried these fixes

Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan,
System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

Step 2: Also, I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

Steps to Update the Display Adapter driver.

• Press Windows key + Xkey when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right on the Display Adapter and click on
  Update driver software

BUT i still have the line on screen.

 

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 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
