That's just stupid. I never have my taskbar anywhere else because it makes me ill. But fuck that, you can't tell me where to put it..

Not only is it forced to the bottom. ~~It's in the middle~~ and you can't ungroup tabs.

The start menu can be in the left corner in Windows 11 just like older Windows versions.

Ah I thanks for the correction.

That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about the taskbar icons. Power users like myself ungroup those because it's annoying and not at all helpful. It stops being icons and goes back to the regular rectangles. I'm assuming you've used icons for so long you forgot what it looks like. Win11 let's you do it in dev releases but I just use Start11 because it basically lets you do whatever you want with the taskbar.
