Security News > 2022 > April > Microsoft: Moving Windows 11 taskbar may never be an option again
If you are waiting for Windows 11 side-taskbar support before upgrading to the latest operating system, you may be waiting for a long time, according to a recent Microsoft Ask Me Anything session.
When Windows was first released, the most controversial changes were the new centered Start Menu and the reduced functionality of the Windows taskbar.
With Windows 11, Microsoft took away the ability to move the taskbar, which is one of the most requested features on the Microsoft Feedback Hub, with over 17,500 upvotes.
Another Windows 10 taskbar feature is sorely missed, which is the ability to uncombine open windows for the same program.
Due to this, numerous Windows 10 users have told BleepingComputer that they will not upgrade to Windows 11 until the feature is restored.
This feature has been requested by over 12,500 Windows 11 users on the Feedback Hub, and Microsoft states that they have received the feedback.
