Taskbar on side in Win11?

[HangTime]

Got an annoying problem with Windows11, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the taskbar on the left side of the screen. Tried checking it's not locked, dragging it, going into taskbar settings etc. There is a position setting you can set to left but all it does is put the icons on the left side of the taskbar, not actually move the taskbar to the left side.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Surely it can't be that hard to implement though?
Taskbar at the bottom just seems illogical to me now most monitors are widescreen, you have loads of horizontal real estate relative to vertical so why on earth would you want to use up space at the bottom of the screen? Especially given websites, documents etc tend to flow downwards. It also consumes more pixels at the bottom of the screen compared to the side so you get to see less of your actual applications.

Tiny scroll bar is only an issue if you have a lot of different applications open simultaneously and/or have a lower resolution monitor. I can understand how people who have huge numbers of pinned/open applications might prefer a horizontal taskbar but I don't tend to that and bar at the bottom just wastes loads of space and shrinks the amount of vertical space.
