I just want to move the taskbar.
Ever since the first preview builds of Windows 11, users have been asking Microsoft to allow them to move the taskbar to different locations. Eventually, the company explained why it wouldn’t let us move it, but now it looks like Redmond might be ready to change its mind.
Apparently, in the latest Windows 11 Dev 25309, a new feature allows users to relocate the taskbar, something Microsoft randomly removed from Windows 11. First seen and shared by @ellibroestacerrado On Twitter, the taskbar sits at the top of the screen and is somewhat functional.
It turns out that you can place the fully XAML taskbar on top, although the experience is not that great 😅 pic.twitter.com/NmGjOVK0gR

As you can see in the video on Twitter, just because the feature is available doesn’t mean it works that well or provides a good experience. The apps still open from the bottom, so the animations need more work. That being said, if Microsoft is finally working on a fix, we might eventually “align left/right/top”.
Almost a year ago, we finally started to see movement in the taskbar, but not as users expected. Microsoft began testing a new Windows 11 taskbar for tablets where it could be expanded or collapsed, but we never received the ability to move its location.
Remember that features or options that we see in the development channel don’t always make it to the public release. So while this is promising, don’t get your hopes up just yet.
