Taskbar on top for Windows 11

Moves the Windows 11 taskbar to the top of the screen.

Compatibility

The mod was designed for up-to-date Windows 11 versions 22H2 to 24H2. Other versions weren't tested and are probably not compatible.

Known limitations

  • The Action Center (Win+A) stays on the bottom. For now, you can use this alternative solution.
  • For some devices, mostly tablets and touchscreen devices, the taskbar may appear in the wrong location after enabling the mod. An explorer restart usually fixes it.
  • The option to automatically hide the taskbar isn't supported.
