虽然Windows 11带来了许多新功能并承诺提供更好的用户体验，但它有时会以放弃我们在以前的(Windows 11)Windows操作系统中喜欢的东西为代价。看起来更好，但在某种程度上也令人失望的事情之一是新的Windows 11任务栏，它经常让人觉得它过于简单化了。以下是您无法使用Windows 11任务栏执行的操作，这些操作势必会让许多用户感到沮丧，包括我自己：
1. Windows 11 的任务栏无法移动到屏幕的顶部或侧面
Windows 10 的任务栏，就像Windows 7的任务栏一样，是可移动的。您可以更改其在屏幕上的位置。如果您愿意，可以将其移至屏幕顶部、左侧或右侧。至少对我来说，在屏幕左侧有一个垂直的任务栏是最好的事情之一。它允许您获得随时可用的额外屏幕空间。也就是说，如果您拥有横向显示器或使用笔记本电脑，并且碰巧我是Microsoft Edge 垂直选项卡的忠实粉丝(Microsoft Edge’s vertical tabs)出于同样的原因。您可以想象我和其他许多人对 Windows 11 的任务栏根本不允许您在屏幕上设置其位置这一事实感到多么失望。您不能将其移动到屏幕的顶部或两侧。老实说，我真的无法围绕如此糟糕的设计选择。

提示：关于(TIP:)Windows 11任务栏的唯一好处是，微软(Microsoft)至少可以让你将上面的图标和开始菜单(Start Menu)对齐到左边。如果您不喜欢任务栏的新居中外观，以下是如何将 Windows 11 开始菜单移至左侧(how to move the Windows 11 Start Menu to the left)。
2. Windows 11 的任务栏无法设置为显示更小的图标
在较旧的Windows操作系统（如Windows 10或Windows 7）中，您可以将任务栏设置为为其上的快捷方式以及打开的应用程序和窗口显示小图标。(set the taskbar to show small icons)这曾经是使任务栏更薄并在屏幕上获得一点空间的最佳方法之一。这对于使用小屏幕设备的人来说非常重要，比如平板电脑用户。不幸的是，Windows 11 的任务栏没有在其上显示较小图标的选项。你被他们的默认大尺寸困住了。

3. Windows 11 的任务栏无法调整大小
有些人可能不喜欢Windows 11任务栏的另一件事是您根本无法更改其大小。虽然就个人而言，我不会错过这一点，但我认识不喜欢这个的人。在以前的Windows操作系统中，您可以根据需要增加或减少任务栏的大小。在Windows 11中，这不是一个选项，因此您只能坚持所获得的。

4. Windows 11 的任务栏不允许你取消组合窗口按钮
您曾经使用过Windows 7或以前的Windows操作系统吗？如果您这样做了，您可能仍然希望您的任务栏在其上单独显示打开的窗口。您可能仍然喜欢您打开的每个窗口在任务栏上都有自己的按钮这一事实。好吧，如果您切换到Windows 11，那就告别这一切。它做不到，简单明了。微软(Microsoft)没有给我们这个选项，这对于许多人来说可能是不可行的，因为这样一个简单的事情，将完全避免切换到Windows 11。

5. 不能在任务栏应用上拖拽文件打开
这可能不是很多人曾经做过的事情，但我是其中之一。在Windows 10和我多年来使用的所有以前的Windows版本中，我喜欢的一件事是我可以将文件从桌面或(Windows)文件资源管理器(File Explorer)拖到固定到任务栏的应用程序上以快速打开它。
例如，我可以将文本 (.TXT) 文件拖到Microsoft Word任务栏快捷方式上，以使用Word而不是默认的Notepad对其进行编辑。不幸的是，这已成为过去，因为Windows 11的任务栏不再支持此功能。当我尝试它时，我得到的只是一个停车标志，暗示着这样一个事实——令人惊讶的是——这不是我能做的。

6. 多显示器设置不显示日期和时间
对于在计算机上使用两台或多台显示器的人来说，这里有一些东西：Windows 11的任务栏只在主屏幕上显示日期和时间。在连接到Windows 11 PC 的任何辅助显示器上，时钟丢失。虽然这可能不是切换到Windows 11的禁忌，但(Windows 11)微软(Microsoft)不允许你在任何你想要的显示器上显示任务栏时钟肯定是一个糟糕的设计选择。

7、 Windows 11(Windows 11)任务栏无法添加快速启动工具栏
最后但并非最不重要的一点是，可能会惹恼某些人的一件事是缺少向Windows 11(Windows 11)任务栏添加其他工具栏的选项。就个人而言，我曾经喜欢将桌面(Desktop)工具栏添加到我的Windows 10任务栏的右侧，因为它让我可以快速访问旧的控制面板(Control Panel)。我不能再拥有它了，因为微软(Microsoft)决定放弃这个选项。这是一种生产力捷径，包括我在内的一些用户会在Windows 11中错过。

你不喜欢Windows 11的任务栏什么？
Windows 11任务栏有一些我喜欢的地方，但是，正如你所见，我不喜欢的还有很多。虽然从普通用户的角度来看， Windows 11任务栏可能会更好，但从生产力的角度和对于高级用户来说，它可能看起来像是从以前版本的Windows操作系统降级。你怎么看？Windows 11的任务栏还有其他你讨厌的地方吗？
7 things you can't do with the Windows 11 taskbar -
Whilе Wіndows 11 brings many new features and prоmises a better user experience, it sometimes does so at the expense of letting go of things we liked in previоus Windows operating systems. One of the things that lоok better, but are also disappoіnting on some level, iѕ the new Windows 11 taskbar, which often feels like it suffers from oversimplification. Here are the things yoυ can’t do with the Windows 11 taskbar that аrе bound to frustrate many users, myself іncluded:
1. Windows 11’s taskbar can’t be moved to the top or sides of the screen
Windows 10’s taskbar, just like Windows 7’s taskbar, was moveable. You could change its location on the screen. If you wanted, you could make it go to the top of the screen, to its left or right side. For me, at least, having a vertical taskbar on the left of the screen is one of the best things about it. It allows you to gain additional screen estate that’s available at all times. That is, if you own a landscape monitor or if you use a laptop and, as it happens, I’m a great fan of Microsoft Edge’s vertical tabs for the same reason. You can imagine just how disappointed I and many others are about the fact that Windows 11’s taskbar simply doesn’t let you set its location on your screen. You can’t move it to the top or the sides of your screen. To be honest, I really can’t wrap my mind around such a poor design choice.

TIP: The only good thing about Windows 11’s taskbar is that Microsoft at least lets you align the icons on it, and the Start Menu, to the left. If you don’t like the new centered look of the taskbar, here’s how to move the Windows 11 Start Menu to the left.
2. Windows 11’s taskbar can’t be set to show smaller icons
In older Windows operating systems, like Windows 10 or Windows 7, you can set the taskbar to show small icons for the shortcuts on it, as well as for the open apps and windows. That used to be one of the best ways to make the taskbar thinner and gain a bit of space on your screen. That can be quite important for people who use devices with small screens, like tablet users. Unfortunately, Windows 11’s taskbar doesn’t have an option to show smaller icons on it. You’re stuck with the default large size for them.

3. Windows 11’s taskbar can’t be resized
Another thing some people might not like about the Windows 11 taskbar is that you can’t change its size at all. Although personally, I don’t miss that, I know people who dislike this. In previous Windows operating systems, you could increase or decrease the size of the taskbar as you wanted. In Windows 11, that’s not an option, so you’re stuck with what you get.

4. Windows 11’s taskbar doesn’t let you ungroup window buttons
Have you ever used Windows 7 or previous Windows operating systems? If you did, you might still prefer your taskbar to show open windows separately on it. You might still like the fact that each and every window you have open has its own button on your taskbar. Well, if you switch to Windows 11, say goodbye to all that. It can’t do it, plain and simple. Microsoft doesn’t give us this option, which might be a no-go for many who, because of a simple thing like this, will avoid switching to Windows 11 altogether.

5. You can’t drag files on taskbar apps to open them
This one is probably not a thing many people used to do, but I was one of them. In Windows 10 and in all the previous Windows versions I used over the years, one thing I liked was the fact that I could drag a file from the desktop or File Explorer onto an app pinned to the taskbar to quickly open it.
Like, for example, I could drag a text (.TXT) file onto the Microsoft Word taskbar shortcut to edit it with Word instead of the default Notepad. Unfortunately, this is a thing of the past, as Windows 11’s taskbar doesn’t support this feature anymore. When I tried it, all I got was a stop sign hinting at the fact that - surprise - it’s not something I can do.

6. The date and time are not shown on multiple monitor setups
Here’s something for people who use two or more monitors on their computers: Windows 11’s taskbar only shows the date and time on the main screen. On any of the secondary monitors connected to a Windows 11 PC, the clock is missing. While that might not be a no-go to switch to Windows 11, it’s certainly a poor design choice from Microsoft not to allow you to show the taskbar clock on whatever monitor you want.

7. You can’t add quick launch toolbars to the Windows 11 taskbar
Last but not least, one thing that might annoy some people is the missing option to add additional toolbars to the Windows 11 taskbar. Personally, I used to like having the Desktop toolbar added to the right of my Windows 10 taskbar because it gave me quick access to the old Control Panel. I can’t have that anymore, as Microsoft decided to let go of this option. It was a kind of productivity shortcut that some users, including me, will miss in Windows 11.

What do you dislike about Windows 11’s taskbar?
There are things I like about the Windows 11 taskbar, but, as you’ve seen, there are also many I don’t. While the Windows 11 taskbar might be better from a regular user’s standpoint, from a productivity point of view and for power users, it might look like a downgrade from previous versions of Windows operating systems. What do you think? Are there other things you hate about the taskbar from Windows 11?
