Windows Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Microsoft is introducing major Taskbar upgrades in Windows 11, allowing users to reposition it to the top, bottom, left, or right sides of the screen, addressing one of the most requested features since the OS launch in 2021.
- The Taskbar will also become resizable, enabling a smaller height and icon size similar to Windows 10, helping users with smaller screens free up space without hiding the Taskbar entirely.
- Taskbar customization settings will be accessible through the Windows Settings app rather than allowing free drag-and-drop repositioning, with full functionality maintained in all positions except the search bar, which won’t appear in vertical layouts.
- Microsoft has prioritized Taskbar repositioning as a "Priority 0" feature, indicating it is critical to ship in the upcoming release, while resizing is "Priority 1," reflecting its high but secondary importance.
- These enhancements aim to improve personalization and appeal to power users who have been hesitant to switch from Windows 10 due to limited interface configurability in Windows 11.
