Windows 11 26H2 Rollout Begins With Taskbar Repositioning
The taskbar's fixed bottom position was a common complaint about Windows 11, and 26H2 answers it in Settings rather than by drag, so the upgrade path and the multi-monitor limits matter as much as the feature itself.

Microsoft has started the gradual Windows 11 26H2 rollout through Windows Update, and machines are already receiving it. The update's signature change lets users place the taskbar at the top, bottom, left, or right instead of the fixed bottom position. Position is set in the Settings app rather than by dragging, and on multi-display setups the placement cannot be configured per screen. A Small taskbar size option is also new.
The 26H2 delivery arrives in small increments through monthly updates, so the download time is short. Users who want it early can enable the option to get the latest updates as soon as they are available, and the update appears once their device is eligible. Beyond taskbar placement, 26H2 also adds a Small taskbar size setting.
