Public demand. Windows 11 comes with a whole new philosophy inspired by macOS, that of increasing productivity by moving all icons to the center of the screen.
At least, that’s what Microsoft thinks happens.
While many believe that the Taskbar is now less of a taskbar and more of a dock, some want the freedom to customize this feature. Redmond has baked-in options to prevent users from changing this feature freeform like in the past.
That is to say, the Taskbar can no longer be moved to the top of the screen.
Even though this would make the OS feel even more like its rival, macOS, plenty of people are in on the idea.
This suggestion, recently posted in the Feedback Hub, continues to gain traction. More and more votes are pouring in for the ability for users to move the Taskbar to the top of the screen, dramatically changing the Windows 11 experience.
For its part, Microsoft has only promised to keep an eye on the feedback that it has received, though there is no confirmation yet that the company is actively developing this ability.
