I’m not alone in my fierce defense of a relocatable taskbar - a post about the issue on the Microsoft Feedback Hub has received over 17,000 votes of support, as it is one of the most requested features. So oddly enough, this one little thing may be the dealbreaker that gets me to switch after thirty-something years to Linux, where top-aligned taskbars are more or less the norm. More importantly, I thought moving the taskbar to the top would help with my neck/shoulder strain issues, and I believe that it has.
Plenty of people move it to one of the sides or hide it when not in use for the same reason. For one, it just made more sense to me to have everything at the top, and nothing at the bottom to interrupt visual flow while reading a web page or a document. Years ago, I switched my taskbar to the top for various reasons. As in, you can have the taskbar anywhere you want, as long as it’s the bottom of the screen. Admittedly, it’s for a fairly petty reason - Microsoft have gotten rid of alternate-location taskbar support in Windows 11. But 10 might mean the end for this scribe, who has used Windows since the late 1980s. Two years ago this summer, I traded in an overworked Windows 7 laptop that was literally screaming in pain for a SFF Windows 10 box as my main machine. Yeah, I’ll admit it: I’m a Windows person.
