OLD memo - Add the registry with registry editor (It doesn't work after Windows 11 - version 22000.65 upgrade)[edit | edit source]

Start regedit.exe and open the below directory. 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

And make below DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Add the value 1 

0 -> 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell\Update\Packages.

And make below DWORD (32-bit) Value. 

UndockingDisabled

Add the value 1

And restart (reboot) your computer.

However... It doesn't work after Windows 11 - version 22000.65 upgrade.
Startmenu icon appears on the left side of the taskbar. However, it doesn't work correctly.
