Quick Launch Toolbar

I updated to Windows 11 yesterday and the first thing I looked for was how to get Quick Launch Toolbar. I found out how to do that, and everything I had in Windows 10 is there, BUT, it's all clumped together next to the notification area. I click on it and all the folders are there in a window that pops up, I click on one, then a window flies out to the left. Is there a way to have them visible under (I think it was) the taskbar? This is helpful, but certainly not as convenient as it was in W10.

I think I know what you mean but am not sure - describing visual things in just words is difficult.
Please post one or more screenshots to help explain what you currently see & what you want to see.

This is what I see. My icons in W10 were along the bottom, either to the right of those 6 icons on the left, or maybe they were underneath the open apps? I've had Quick Launch for so long (W7??) that it was just there, I don't remember the details.
