However, the ability to change the taskbar’s position won’t be available anytime soon because the current design or animation flow of the Start menu isn’t ready yet. Since not many people use the taskbar on the left or the right, this feature wasn't added in the original build of Windows 11 and Microsoft is currently prioritizing other features. (HT_PRINT)
