Completely agree with OP. I moved the taskbar to the right when monitors switched from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratios. Now most of my displays are in 21:9 aspect ratios. Forcing the taskbar to the bottom of the screen is a waste of precious vertical screen real estate. I need to use my computer in a regulated environment so StartAllBack is not an acceptable option. Microsoft: I get it that you want to give people the option of having a MacOS like UI. But for the love of all that is good, give us the option to restore items to the old locations. I've had my taskbar on the right for 20 years. Having to think about how to interact with the operating system again has degraded my productivity. Not having the option to restore the old UI for something this fundamental to the user experience is unacceptable and never should have been approved by any competent product manager.
