Windows 11 has limited options to customize the taskbar, such as you can’t drop an application to the taskbar to Pin it. Similarly, Windows 11 Taskbar is locked by default, and you can’t move it to any location on your screen as you wish. Likewise, you can’t move the taskbar to a vertical position if you need. It’s challenging to customize the taskbar as per their preferences.
Earlier, we had introduced Linkbar, which comes with many features; however, in this gearupwindows article, I will introduce another freeware tool that is known as StartAllBack.

To use the StartAllBack, download it from its official website and install it on your Windows 11 machine. Once the download is completed, double-click on the StartAllBack executable file and click on Install for everyone or Install for me. When the User Account Control prompt, click on Yes and wait to complete the installation.
When StartAllBack is installed, you’ll need to configure it. On the StartAllBack configuration wizard, select a theme: Proper 11, Kinda 10, or Remastered 7.
Once the configuration is done, close the StartAllBack wizard. Right-click on the Taskbar and uncheck the “Lock the taskbar” option.
That’s it. Now you can move your taskbar to any position on your screen. To set it vertically on the right side of the monitor, click the taskbar, hold and drag it to the right side. Leave the cursor when you see the taskbar is vertically aligned.
