>>107608383>i really cannot imagine why they would remove it.No one can work out how to do it in React.
>>107608327Saar Too hard Saar, small company Saar
>>107608363>uselessI literally have my taskbar on the right on 1080p or smaller screens. Fuck you.
>>107608327>>107608327>>107608327>>107608327>>107608327HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>1076083273.6 trillion dollar market cap company btwhttps://www.windowslatest.com/2025/12/19/why-you-cant-move-windows-11-taskbar-like-windows-10/
>>107608383Because Microsoft is staffed exclusively by retarded H1B web devs now
Hole up...Can it be done with IoT W11?Literally need this feature.
>>107608495No.
>>107608510FFS...
>remove QA>remove Americans>use money to fund jeets using AIThey deserve this
Jeets went from shitting in the street to shitting directly into windows user mouths.
>microsoft failed to use a webshitter library designed to ease ui developmentunironic collapse indicator
>>107608473>Notably, Windows 10 could do the same thing without any visible issues. And that’s probably because Windows 10 was a much lighter OS than Windows 11.Yeah. I'm sticking with W10 for a while then.
>>107608327Rule #1 of software development: pander to power users or die.
I use Windows 7, so it's not my problem.
>"Windows 11 taskbar is now being “upgraded” with AI-first features. Microsoft is working on the Ask Copilot bar, which may replace Windows Search in the taskbar."I swear man these clowns are straight up retarded.
>>107608473>By Abhijith M B - December 19, 2025 why is every shitty tech article written by them?
>>107608327Fuck accessibility, am I right?
>>107608473It's a real fucking joke they made half the start menu "recommendations" but didn't have the time or resources to implement features from the Windows 10 taskbar.
they rewrote the complete taskbar and shell in general linto web-based code and that's why on one hand it consumes 2GB by default (which is ridiculous, look at the game-optimized windows news) and on another hand that web-based shit itself is the problem, they probably cannot achieve the proper content layout in any other case than the bottom-horizontal one
>>107608565power users use Linux you dumb dumb
>>107608629>>107608629>Fuck accessibility, am I right?>WON'T YOU SAARS PLEASE JUST THINK OF THE DISABLED RETARDS?!?!?!KYS.
>>107608327Based on their internal data, the number of users who actively rely on a vertical or top-aligned taskbar is not large enough to justify the cost of rewriting it right now, so I don't really see a problem.
>“When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to have a wonderful experience in those environments is just huge.”>What this essentially means is that when the taskbar sits at the bottom, Windows and third-party apps know exactly how much horizontal space they have to work with. Once you move it to the left or right, the math breaks.As if resizable windows aren't a thing.This is the absolute dumbest excuse. Unless they have moved to a UI framework that just can't deal with dynamic window sizes, which would be fucking bonkers.The more I read, the dumber the situation becomes.
>>107608327>>107608473this is Tali Roth, the product manager working on the core "Windows user experience", including the Start menu, taskbar, and notifications she's the one answering questions in that article her twitter bio tells you everything there is to know
Works still fine, just press ctrl+alt+down arrow key to put the taskbar on top. Ctrl+alt+left/right arrow to get it on left or right side
>>107608660is ts tuff in 4chan lil bro
>>107608327>>107608448Just smart auto-hide. If anything is blocking the taskbar, it auto hides, it not, it's there.
>>107608672Noob, the users who use this feature disabled telemetry...
>>107608327>Removing the feature of having the taskbar in a different locationThat's some aggressive optimization right there.I'm sure this will significantly improve performance.
>>107608706>MS bases decisions upon user telemetry>only retards have enabled itIt all makes sense
>>107608687Holy shit you are right it works
https://youtu.be/g7y1S3wIysgIt's confirmed W11 is an artsy fartsy vanity project.Completely skip this version.Clearly ZERO focus on usability or performance.Entire focus on "look and feel" nonsense.
>>107608714They just admitted that their workforce can no longer design anything requiring simple mathematics easily.
>Indians are retarded>Indians takeover MicrosoftShocking!
>>107608327A few weeks ago my computer (win 10) updated and I could no longer use the calculator. It directed me to the store and it simply wouldn't download. I now have to search calculator on google every time I want to do a quick calculation.Correct me if I'm wrong, but paint and notepad are missing from win11 too.Paint 3d could be good but it's so fucking slow it's infuriating to use.The only thing preventing me from switching to Linux at this point is inertia.
>>107608343He cute
>>107608883>Correct me if I'm wrong, but paint and notepad are missing from win11 too.They're there, but they're JEET apps now.
>>107608327DEI in action
>>107608687FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!Lucky I could save my system.
>>107608883>my computer (win 10) updatedYou didn't disable updates by telling it that you're on a metered connection? lol.Wipe it and reinstall from scratch.
>>107608678Ah once again its the jews ruining everything
>>107608327>win10this clickbait faggot shit should've used the oldest windows possible that supports that shit, win10 having it is pointless and not half as funny
>>107608495ExplorerPatcher
>>107609038StartAllBack lets you as wellNot sure why you'd do it though, it looks fucking ugly if you ask me
Meanwhile edge when watching embedded w10 taskbar video that is on that site.
>>107609051I set it on the side so I don't waste vertical space.
>>107609026>funnyYou may not realize it but this is serious, faggot.
>>107609081Loads fine on Chrome.
>>107609098Exactly why I NEED this feature. How in the name of God could they remove it?
>>107608888Heil!
>>107609134;)
>>107608448Why? You guys that move it are weird as hell. Ever since 9x it's bottom default install.
>>107608327>think "what no this must be exaggerated for laughs and/or ragebait">look it up>it's real>it's fucking realihave no words left to explain howman i don't want to even finish this post. i just want a working fucking os microsoft.i'm over. it's over. i'm fucking going to try bazzite or somethingwhat the goddamn hell is going on at microsoft
>>107609134It has to be indians rightThe team responsible Win11 has to be eating shit for breakfast or none of this makes sense.Anyway I use windhawk to do by win11 ui necessities like moving taskbar to the side.
>>107608660i hope you get a spinal cord injury
>>107608327*siiiigh*Looks like Linux is finally winning the least shit competition now. It is slightly the least piece of shit OS out there now and while I'm gong to have to tinker tranny several of my days off over the course of my life at least eventually it'll work.
>>107609161Isn't it obvious?Vertical screen real-estate.
>>107608448being different should not be tolerated
>>107609282You just failed at that simply by posting on a dying imageboard
>>107609161And in 1995, 4:3 monitors were the norm.
>>107608343will the real slim shady please oink up???
>>107608704And then interacting with anything down there is walking on eggshells trying not to make the taskbar pop up.>>107608860The clanker that generated the code for the taskbar can't handle more than one layout.
>>107609161Ever since 9x hiding extensions on files has been the default too, and it's always been a retarded setting to have turned on.
>>107609391>And then interacting with anything down there is walking on eggshells trying not to make the taskbar pop up.I literally have to hit the cursor against the edge of the screen for it to pop up... Even then it has like a 300ms delay, so accidental hits don't pop it up randomly.
>>107609098wrong, you're wrong, you don't need that space because it you did, you'd have the option to. QED
