the code required to move the taskbar to the top or sides isn’t actually in Windows 11, because Microsoft created the new taskbar from the ground up

Funny, I run a script on my work computer that let's me move it. I like it on the top.

    It couldn't be that hard to make new code that achieves the same thing with the new taskbar.

    It's hardly the only feature they broke. Another stupidly simple thing was On Win10 I can click on the time and pop open the calendar from any monitor. Windows 11 only the main monitor works. It's annoying as fuck. Everyone involved with creating this half baked piece of shit and forcing it on Windows users should kill themselves.

    I could perhaps have understood this calendar mess when they rolled out windows 11, but we're one year later, come on.

    Windows 11 came out in 2021, 4 years ago.

    I got my computer in 2022 and switched to Linux this year so for a 3 year period I got to experience Windows 11 get worse in real time. Co-Pilot being built in is what completely broke me I think.

    Harsh, but I think everyone at the entire company could and we'd be better off.

    That OS is not even pretending to hide how sinister it's being.

    In a non capitalist hellhole, people would've quit before copying with writing any of it. They would've quit before they put Candy Crush on the Start menu.
