How do I position the task bar on the left in windows 11?

Dear Paolo Giancarlo Patrucco ,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding taskbar positioning in Windows 11.

You're absolutely right—previous versions of Windows allowed users to freely reposition the taskbar to the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen. However, as of the current release of Windows 11, Microsoft has limited taskbar placement to the bottom of the screen only. Vertical positioning (left or right) is not natively supported at this time.

We understand how valuable vertical taskbar placement can be, especially for users working with ultra-wide monitors. While this functionality is not currently available, there are a few potential workarounds:

Third-Party Tools Some users have explored third-party customization tools such as StartAllBack or ExplorerPatcher, which may offer more flexible taskbar positioning. Please note that these are unofficial solutions and may not be supported by Microsoft.

Feedback to Microsoft If vertical taskbar placement is important to your workflow, we recommend submitting feedback directly to Microsoft via the Feedback Hub app. User feedback plays a key role in shaping future updates.

Should Microsoft reintroduce this feature in a future release, we’ll be sure to share any updates.

I hope that my answer is useful for you.

Best regards,

Quinnie Quoc.
