The inability to put the task bar on the left is the single reason I've stayed with Windows 10. Putting the taskbar on the bottom of the screen is an artifact from the 4:3 monitor era. Most monitors are 16:9 or 21:9 now....the left side is the best place for the task bar and I can't be convinced otherwise.
Same here. I just hope they won't stop supporting Win10 soon. I have taskbar on the sides since I've bought my second screen, can't imagine having it on the bottom again. That's what I am scared a bit. The OS industry is going in the direction of Mac and Android. Simpler, easier to use and less customizable. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I think its just a matter of time when supported Windows won't even allow you to check your registers unless you're one of their employees or have a special version. I am a simple man with simple needs: taskbar on the right side of the screen. And being able to see what my computer actually does.
Absolutely. I put mine on the right, but for the same reasons. I've just had a crash of my main OS so I'm switching to 11, but webpages were made to be vertical, not horizontal, so more screen real estate is just lovely.
Same here. Meanwhile, the amount of times I made that same statements and people gleefully showed me how to align the icons to the left has nearly driven me nuts.
Believe it or not, Microsoft is now silencing all feedback regarding moving the W11 taskbar to the top edge of the screen. There were about 30k upvotes to move the taskbar... now ALL reference to moving the taskbar (including all of my previous feedback regarding this) have now been deleted by Microsoft. Perhaps it's time to call the lawyers. The inability to move the taskbar is causing some people physical harm due to eye conditions. So much for "Microsoft Accessibility".
Yeah, good luck getting a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for not including some feature. Especially since Windows 10 is still supported. Any lawyer you call will probably just laugh and hang up.
@@alxjones Your answer is in your second sentence, "since Windows 10 is still supported". The day will come when it is not, and the potential for and likelihood of irrevocable harm will ultimately result in the attention of government ADA involvement.
Sadly yes, the registry does not work for the latest 21H2 version. However you can move the taskbar using an application: ruclips.net/video/qtEp_1nNeAo/видео.html Thanks.
I have done this several times now, both by restarting windows from task manager as well as restarting my pc and each time it resets the value in registry back to 03. Is there any reason this will be happening? Also just want to say how fucking stupid it is that they did not make this an actual feature despite the feedback clearly stating people wanted it. I guess Microsoft figured anything under 100% isn't worth it...
Thanks to you for proving this video. I'm very grateful. I wonder why Microsoft or somebody else hasn't created a batch file to make this change. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a 30 plus year habit of using a taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It's maddening that Microsoft makes changes to conventions that people have used for decades. I hate the changes they've made to Office products for instance. But I'm ranting. I really want to rave about the time and effort you expended to produce this video for people like me. No doubt you've helped many, even if they don't take the time to thank you. Cheers!
This alone is a reason I need to get my PC more ready for Linux before end of life, have a graphics capable CPU, and pass my GPU through a Windows virtual machine. I hate Microsoft so much man...
Thanks for this. It is so much better to have the TB on the left. I am sick of microsoft products and my next purchase is going to be a MAC. Every update is basically retraining yourself on how to use a PC.
@@franklincollins9194 yes we did try a couple of times, and it reverted back. Using a software possibly is the only option: ruclips.net/video/qtEp_1nNeAo/видео.html

@@HeyLetsLearnSomething I had found and installed EP since the date of my previous comment, and I still use it. It is useful to hide the Recommended section in the Start menu.

putting the taskbar on top is one thing, but how do i stop all apps to start behind the taskbar? the top of the apps is always bind the task bar because the app still starts at the top of the screen
Thanks for killing my hopes and dreams. I need my damn Task bar on the right hand side of my desktop, this sucks. I know its not your fault but I thought this vid would know how to do it, only to hear, nope sorry out of luck...
Unless they implement native taskbar on the left setting, im not switching. For a power user it IS a big dea. im not throwing away 10% of my vertical real estate for no fucking reason especially when 90% of everything i do on the PC in on the web - which is vertical in nature.
i wantt o move only one taks bar of my bar 3 screen ... grrrrrrr windows .. what the fucccccck why ... whyyyyyyyyyy they already got some option thegy just deicde to nou continu whyyyyyyyy ... so stupid for real .. i will go back ton win 10 .; it like havint to redooo evrything but with less option now .. its a downgrade ... and they will force people to have it .. danmmmm
Interestingly, I don't know of any Linux desktop environment that won't allow this. Guess that's why my only Window$ machine at home is stored in the closet. Too bad my work machine is still chained to M$ products.
Windows 11 is the Vista of modern windows, maybe windows 12 will be good, but for now im staying on Win 10 as 11 is absolute trash... also requires an internet connection to install it. Dissapointed in microsoft, it's like it was made by interns.
dont undestand this shit why you cant move taskbar as you wish? I always used it different and now i cant and its so complicated to change or download other SW its nonesense

When I make music in Flstudio the taskbar covers the bottom part of the flex plugin and its so frustrating

I used to joke about Linux and Apple. Seriously reconsidering - OR, just using DEX on my Android phone
Of course, the moment Microsoft saw you could do this hack, they made editing the registry impossible.
Tried it on w11 - 22H2 Update, does not work anymore and the registry editor goes back to the defaults

Microsoft fixed it
It doesn't work anymore. Whenever I restart the file manager, the 01 changes automatically to 03, and taskbar doesn't move :/
How to solve this?
same thing to me

Hate windows 11 for making this so much harder than it needed to be
Dont work with 22H2 Update :(
The registry change doesn't stick; it defaults back. Not sure if it's related to the registry key permissions, but changing them doesn't help either.

its works thank you ❤
actually, I've tried it...and it won't go the to top, regardless. any tips?
Thank you for the instructions. God bless you
Pov your looking at the comments if it works or not.😐
it got patched ;-;

Thanks bruh ..it really works and was soo useful keep it up🙂👍👍👍👍
SO YOURE SAYING... i cant put the task bar to the side of my 32:9 monitor?
this doesnt work for me :( every time i restart its back at the bottom again,
Does not work anymore. I just installed Windows 11 for the first time and this lack of customization is a big problem.

@@HeyLetsLearnSomething
I had found and installed EP since the date of my previous comment, and I still use it. It is useful to hide the Recommended section in the Start menu.
For info you can access the properties with right click on the taskbar.
But you still can't keep a W11 style and put the taskbar on top, so I never managed to do what I wanted. It stayed at the bottom, I hope they will find a solution.
If it was just for moving the bar. I want my task bar on the secondary monitor, not the primary. Also a feature Win10 had and Win11 does not...
Great work, thank you very much for the explanation!
Why in the hell was this change (alongside taskbar size) removed during Win11 development??????
Really finna bite the bullet and start maining Linux
putting the taskbar on top is one thing, but how do i stop all apps to start behind the taskbar? the top of the apps is always bind the task bar because the app still starts at the top of the screen
Title says "Move to top, left, right, or bottom" but the first thing he says is 'you can't'. thanks 😑
is there any way to send it on another screen not your main only?
thx
does not work anymore
Yes this method only works on 21H2, for the latest one please check this video: ruclips.net/video/qtEp_1nNeAo/видео.html
this did not work. I have done this 3 times. the last step of opening the task bar and restart does nothing.
This did not work i did EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID AND NOTHING I DUD IT 3 TIMES
Thanks for killing my hopes and dreams. I need my damn Task bar on the right hand side of my desktop, this sucks. I know its not your fault but I thought this vid would know how to do it, only to hear, nope sorry out of luck...
how do you move it to another screen
thank you but i try many time to change binary follow your. when restart explorer taskbar and binary is not change
i have no idea now
I've the same issue
Why the fuck this is so hard in windows 11? Thanks for the video, though.
Edit. Ah, it didn't work, im so frustrated
It doesnt work :(
i was forced to update to W11, i hated it so far. I dont use Mac for a reason and now it looks like Mac, wth
This is so fucking aggravating. This is exactly everything that I hate about those tech companies.
Thank you !!
For 22H2 version please check this video ruclips.net/video/qtEp_1nNeAo/видео.html
