I will NEVER upgrade to 11.
Aw, we're sorry. We can't give the task bar basic functionality a small subset of you actually want. We're wayyy too busy pumping it chock full of all sorts of "advanced" functionality everyone hates!
Real heads knew the writing was on the wall when Microsoft took aim at Vista's desktop widgets
What this essentially means is that when the taskbar sits at the bottom, Windows and third-party apps know exactly how much horizontal space they have to work with. Once you move it to the left or right, the math breaks.
Yup, engineers being paid six figures in their large corporate offices, controlling humanity's access to computers... hardcoded screen space sizes.
Of course this answer is also part bs because they don't want to let users move their taskbar because they should have to pay for that privilege.
Aren't all apps just borrowing from web frontend code now so it can be responsive like a website? Making this doubly bullshit
MS has been using react native for the UI components but it turns out that MS reaped what they sow as every engineer they bring on has to learn and study Microsoft's legacy codebase from scratch and a lot of those Windows 7 era components are still the load-bearing peg to everything.
Held out on switching to 11 until the last possible moment because of this bullshit
I used StartAllBack to restore this after upgrading
