It was there up into build .100 through a registry edit. People found a way to return the taskbar to the Windows 10 taskbar on Windows 11 through a registry edit hack. But Microsoft patched it before the last Dev release so that hack no longer worked. It seems if Microsoft had any intentions of keeping a classic taskbar format for a Windows 10 taskbar option in Windows 11 then they changed course and will be only allowing the Windows 11 taskbar in Windows 11. However, like I said in an above reply, you can still option to have the start menu position to the left.

I like the current Windows 11 taskbar/start menu, but I understand people still like the old Windows 10 version.

You didn't understand the problem though. I want the new taskbar but I'm stuck with the old one. And the start menu doesn't even work leaving the system unusable.

    In my case I have neither. Jut a black stripe.
    If I position the mouse cursor over the strip , it changes to the hourglass.

    And additionaly the computer is very slow without having any app running.

    CPU 1% - 4%

    Mem: 15%

    Disk 0% -10%

    Network 0%

    I do understand the problem. Some people have had the same problem going back to earlier DEV builds of Windows 11. Their taskbar is still Windows 10 taskbar or it's simply unstable and not usable. You have a few options right now. You can wait into the next Beta (or DEV) Channel builds to see if it's corrected or you can revert back to Windows 10 via "Go Back" and try to re-install the Windows 11 22000.100 build and see if it installs correctly this time or you can revert back to Windows 10 and wait into a later time to join the Beta Channel when you think you're computer can better run the builds or wait into the stable release of Windows 11.
