Microsoft is reluctant to develop the taskbar position movement function of Windows 11

By default, the Windows taskbar is located at the bottom of the screen, but depending on the resolution and usage of the display, it may be more convenient to place it at the top or left or right. Until now, it was possible to move the position freely, but in Windows 11 it is fixed at the bottom, and Microsoft seems to be reluctant to make it movable.

In the 'Ask Me Anything' section of Microsoft's YouTube tech community distribution, the engineering and product teams have the opportunity to answer a variety of questions, including questions related to the taskbar. I did.

According to this distribution, moving the taskbar to various places on the screen is a big challenge, especially when it is placed to the left and right, a large screen rewrite occurs, and it is a huge amount to make all applications understand the environment. Work is required.

On the other hand, with Microsoft's data, although some people are happy to be able to place the taskbar outside the bottom, the number is small compared to those who want other functions, so we are prioritizing support for other functions. that's right. At the time of delivery, it is said that 'the plan itself does not exist' as to when it should be possible to place it outside the bottom of the taskbar and when it should be possible in the first place.

In addition, news site Neowin explained that the function to move the taskbar is the most popular topic with 17,600 likes and more than 1200 comments on Feedback Hub . I'm asking questions.
