Windows 11 bug - Cannot move the taskbar to the Side or top
We run hospitals and have 86,000 workstations that we will be upgrading to Windows 11. However, one HUGE stumbling block has been the broken Taskbar and that it will no longer move. We have clinical ...
I have been using Windows as my primary platform for more than 25 years, and not so uniquely, I have always preferred my taskbar to be on the top.
When on top it persistently allows me to quickly and naturally move my mouse up to select a new app rather than the not quite as comfortable and much farther action to drag down action. Throughout time, even back in the 1990's, for all of my Windows based devices this was never a problem, until Windows 11.
Knowing there are published "hacks" to alter the registry to one of the 4 standard locations for the task bar, bottom=3, top=0, then left and right as 1 and 2 for the data setting, why is the mobility of the task bar NOT a standard default feature as it has been for more than 20 years?
Are we to understand a function of screen territory and object placement has become so difficult for the development team? How can that be, you've been doing this for more than 25 years?
Please advise on when your team will begin the roll-out of the update to rectify this exceedingly simple concept that hundreds of thousands of Windows user take advantage of, or at a minimum find a more usable methodology.
