The task bar is my main reason for staying on 10. Forced grouping with icons only and no option to change it is such a bizarre design decision.

Edit: Sounds like my last major gripe with W11 has been fixed! Dreading a forced switch to 11 much less now.

They (finally) changed this in a patch a few months ago. W11 still sucks, but at least it can now do this one thing that all the previous versions could do.

You can move the "start" button to the left but you can't move the entire taskbar to the right or left to be a vertical stripe going down the side. I don't do it but a right or left vertical bar makes much more sense than horizontal given today's wide and ultra wide monitors.

Good catch. I somehow missed the second part of the comment I was replying to - I was referring to the ability to finally ungroup taskbar items in W11.
