From PC World: When Windows 11 was launched, fans of Windows 10 had quite a few complaints about the new operating system. It was too different, too new, and lacked familiar features – to name but a few. One major annoyance, for example, was the lack of options to customise and personalise Windows to suit one’s own preferences, such as a movable taskbar.
In recent months, Microsoft has addressed this issue and, in February, unveiled concrete plans to make the taskbar repositionable again. In August, the moment finally arrived when Windows users’ wishes came true: the repositionable taskbar was rolled out.
Unfortunately, Microsoft tucked the feature away in the Windows 11 settings, which dampened the excitement about the new feature somewhat.
