                                The ui wastes too much empty spaces, not suitable for small screen like laptops.

                                        All I need is to move the taskbar from the bottom to anywhere else on the window. I prefer the left side. Others prefer the top side. A few others the right side. That's all I need. All these new updates are senseless when the company is ignoring the most requested and upvoted feature on their feature suggest toolkit inside Windows.
