Microsoft remembers that taskbars used to move
Microsoft is rolling out updates to Windows 11 that allow users to move the taskbar to various positions on the screen. This change is currently available to Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel and aims to restore features that were removed in previous versions. While the update is a step in the right direction, some functionalities are still lacking and will require further refinement before a wider release.
- ▪The update allows the taskbar to be positioned at the top, bottom, left, or right of the screen.
- ▪Users can choose to have taskbar buttons not combined, allowing each app window to appear as a separate labeled button.
- ▪Microsoft is also adding options for smaller taskbar buttons and more control over the Start menu.
