When we get to the "value data" when you said go to the second row 6th column it shows 00
But on the third row 6th column it shows 03. What this a typo or are we missing something?
We would appreciate it a lot if you can clarify this. Thank you kindly.

Else use Start11 .. but moving to top looks ugly

That does not work anymore in 23H2, might still work in 22H2.
BTW: I tried this with a previous version of Windows 11 and only was able to move the taskbar to the top, not left or right. In 23H2 it is disabled completely, at least I have not found a way to do it

This is the value that needs changing:
