As part of an active effort to improve public opinion of Windows 11 this year, Microsoft is preparing several features and changes that users have long requested, and plans to use this to demonstrate that it's actively listening to user feedback.
According to sources familiar with the company's plans, one of the features being prepared is the ability to move the taskbar's position.
The ability to move the taskbar is something users have continuously requested ever since Windows 11 was first announced. This was a feature users had access to going all the way back to Windows 95, but it was removed when Microsoft redesigned the taskbar from scratch for the 2021 launch of Windows 11.
Now, 5 years later, it appears Microsoft is finally preparing to bring this feature back.
According to the information received, Windows 11's taskbar will be able to be repositioned to the left, right, or top of the screen, and Microsoft is working to make sure all taskbar buttons function normally in those other positions as well.
The ability to resize the taskbar is also reportedly being developed alongside this, letting users adjust how much screen space the taskbar takes up as they like. [remainder omitted]
