Sadly, you can’t move it to the left or right-hand side of the screen without third-party programs, despite compelling reasons to allow it. Luckily, you can still move the taskbar to the top of the screen with a registry hack. Windows 11 doesn’t support moving the taskbar at all: You can change the location of the Start button from the left-hand side of the screen to the middle, but that is the extent of your customization options. The taskbar is traditionally located at the bottom of the screen, but for as long as there have been taskbars, people have wanted to reposition them.
