Windows 11 includes some pretty major visual changes, but the changes to the taskbar are more than superficial. Microsoft has removed many options from the taskbar. Love it or hate it, Windows taskbar 11 it's stuck at the bottom.
Say goodbye to the mobile taskbar
People noticed this for the first time in the leaked version of Windows 11, but that was not a final version, so it was reasonable to believe that it was unfinished. Despite this, it was also something unusual that it was lost considering that Windows 11 is clearly built from Windows 10.

Now that Windows 11 it's official, more details will come out. According to List of deprecated Microsoft features, Windows taskbar 11 can only be aligned with the bottom of the screen. That is all.
Windows has a default lower taskbar from the beginning, but it also allows you to move the taskbar to Windows 95. Whether you have taken advantage of that functionality or not, it's quite a big change for Windows.
Some other taskbar options have also disappeared: you can no longer enable classic window labels on the Windows taskbar 11, as an example.
We like to move our task bars!
I am aware of the opinion that the best place for the taskbar is the left side. I have explained my reasoning for this in both mathematical and practical terms. Especially if you have a widescreen monitor, that many of us have today, I think it's the obvious choice.
It doesn't make much sense to me to clear the option to move the taskbar. Some people comment that “too many customization options can be overwhelming”, but that doesn't make much sense to me in this circumstance. Actually, it was never a “election”.
The taskbar has always been at the bottom by default. It was never a choice that users had to make during setup, nor was it noted as an option when viewing the desktop for the first time. I'm sure a lot of people didn't even realize they could move. The only reason I would change the location is if I had the desire to do so and looked for the option.

I don't see this as removing a customization option for the sake of simplicity. Because, even though Microsoft removed the location option from the taskbar, Windows 11 now centers the Start button and icons on the taskbar. And guess what? There is an option to change that.
I can understand the simplification of the taskbar menu that appears when right-clicking. It's quite a long list of alternatives in Windows 10. But, Why delete the capacity from the settings completely? That feels especially true when Microsoft has created a new option for the taskbar.. Just keep these things buried for the people who want them.
People who want to move the taskbar in Windows 11 they're going to download third-party software to do it. There is a huge software ecosystem based on tweaking things in Windows. Moving the taskbar will now be another thing people will need additional software to do.
It does not have to be this way, Microsoft.
