StartAllBack restores this functionality. (It also allows you to arrange the taskbar icons and buttons any way you see fit, and even replace the entire Start menu with the one from Win7, 8.1, or 10.)
literally the thing that made me decide to finally look into linux, recently resulting in my switching to it, is that for years Ive liked to have the taskbar on the right side on autohide, and on windows 11 they took away the ability to put it there.
I use two taskbars. The one on top has my menu, quick-launch icons, date/time display, weather and notifications. The one on the bottom has my actual tasks.
I have a left taskbar and then my left browser nested tab bar. (Vivaldi, but I used to do this in Opera too) It’s definitely better now with Ultrawide monitors.
I hated this change, I’ve used a side taskbar in windows my entire IT career. It makes it painfully obvious which taskbar is yours and which is the servers when logged in over RDP. With this simple tweak, I had quite literally never made a click error on a remote server… Until windows 11.
It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.
yeah copilot did indeed conflict with the windows XP taskbar

I completely missed the taskbar at the top. Thought the guy was wondering what the 3.5 floppy drive was.

I am a left side taskbar kind of guy. No room for me in default Windows either anymore.

Of course, I’m not using Windows.
My kind of guy.
Zooty zoot zoot!
What now
I used to do this back before browsers had tabs and everyone I told thought I was nuts for doing it, now I just don’t care.

that’s a clever way to use it!
