Windows 11 Add Toolbar To — Taskbar [best]

How can I custom toolbar/taskbar on Win 11? - Microsoft Community Hub

This report outlines the current state of taskbar toolbars in Windows 11, provides a registry-based workaround to restore partial functionality, and evaluates third-party alternatives for users requiring full customization.
