Moving the taskbar to the left side in Windows 11

On Windows 10 I just dragged the taskbar to the left edge of my ultrawide. On 11 it won't move at all and I can only align icons to the left, which isn't the same thing. Is there a setting I'm missing or did they remove it?

You can't, not natively. Windows 11 only lets you move the icons to the left (Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors > Taskbar alignment). Putting the whole bar on the left edge like Windows 10 needs a third party tool like ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack, and a big Windows update can break them.
