How do I move the taskbar from the bottom to the right of my screen as I have it on all my other machines. I just switched to W11 and it doesn't respond.

Hi Brien Jacob As far as I know**,** Windows 11 currently does not support moving the taskbar to the sides or top of the screen through native settings. The alignment options available only affect icon placement (left or center), not the taskbar’s physical location.

There are some third-party tools like ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack have been used to customize taskbar behavior, but please NOTE that these are not officially supported by Microsoft and may affect system stability or updates - I would not recommend.

Harry.

I tried one of the fixes. It would move the bar, but it was weird. You had to go into the code and change a few numbers. I tried it. I didn't like it and changed it back.
