Seriously I have to use the fucking Registry Editor to move it back to the top of the screen? Who thought this was a good idea?

Work in IT and I hate whenever anyone puts the taskbar at the top. Side is somewhat bearable, but damn at the top is so annoying when I have to remote on and work on their device. Good thing almost no one ever does it.

Because then everything is at the top of the screen and the bottom is just the bottom. To me not only does it look nicer but I find it better having everything grouped together.

Also I just realized you can't change the size of the taskbar icons yet either...oh my god.

What sort of monster has it at the top?

You have to be into some seriously sick and depraved things to think having the taskbar at the top is anything other than madness.

Install that if you dislike the Windows 11 changes. This allows you to revert almost everything to how it was in Windows 10 (and in some cases, how it was in Windows 7).

Holy shit thanks for this, works like a charm.

I can say the same with Taskbar on bottom is objectively wrong.

But at the end of the day, the best option is giving the end user a choice on where to put it.

Having more choices and more end user options is the best answer.

What about a task bar that's on the right/left side of the screen?

Yeah like, pretty sure being able to move the taskbar was something Microsoft first implemented in Windows 95 or something. Taking it out 25 years later is just hilariously stupid.

I've seen people claim "left side" is even more objectively correct but I just can't do it lol

The stupid UX designers in Windows has nothing better to do then to dumb down Windows UI.

It's been getting worse with each iteration of Windows.

Says your opinion.

At the end of the day, the best solution is to leave it up to the end user and have it be flexible.

The fact that you have to go through all that "fuckery" to enable it is blasphemy.

I could design a better basic UI & Windows Start Menu & Right-Click menu then the idiot UX designers.

It doesn't take much.
