I have literally been running Windows 11 with the taskbars on the side for 6 months
- olyjohn 5y agoIt's because they're STILL trying to make Windows a mobile OS. And they can't figure it out. It's the only explanation. The taskbar has been movable since Windows fucking 95. And I've never seen any apps on Windows have any issues with moving it around.
- karmakaze 5y agoWhat about making it autohide--doesn't it have a similar implication? Or changing the font height/taskbar height.

- pragmatic8 5y agoDid you bother to read the post? This does not work in Windows 11. Furthermore, I suspect grandparent is either similarly confused or using registry hacks.
- pjmlp 5y agoIndeed, "It's the only explanation. The taskbar has been movable since Windows fucking 95. And I've never seen any apps on Windows have any issues with moving it around." Until they decided to take it away in Windows 11.
