    Removed Taskbar alignment in all directions in Windows 11

    Hi SRINIVAS,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this, Community is just a user to user forum.

    To make this suggestion to the Windows developers, the best option is to open the feedback hub (Windows Key + F) and provide your feedback on the lack of functionality on the taskbar in Windows 11 to the developers there.
