Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Redmond-based software giant Microsoft. As the creator of the most popular operating system in the world, the company widely encourages users to migrate to the latest operating system. However, as more and more users install the latest version of Windows 11, they encounter errors and bugs. Also, Windows 11 lacks some of the most commonly used features of Windows 10 and Microsoft won’t be bringing them back in the near future.
The taskbar is one of the most useful features of Windows 10. It allows users to switch between apps, search for apps using the search bar, and view the task timeline. Additionally, users can also access the weather widget and other system controls like volume playback, Wi-Fi settings, etc. Then, on the far right, there is a button to return to the desktop, in addition to the clock that displays the date and time. Users can also drag and drop the taskbar from the bottom of the screen to the far right or far left of the screen.
Windows 11 Taskbar Missing Features
On Windows 11, the taskbar lacks many features. For example, users cannot change the position of the taskbar or access the context menu. Even after being one of the most requested features, Microsoft isn’t working on relocating the taskbar on Windows 11. In a Windows Insider webcast that was done recently, the Windows 11 development team has stated that the OS would not get a feature to change taskbar position because the animation flow or start menu design is not ready for the same.
As of now, the Windows 11 taskbar has a new Start menu that relies on the default alignment for its layout and functional design. The Windows development team states that “there are a number of challenges when it comes to being able to move the taskbar to different locations on the screen.” Since a very small number of users place the taskbar on either side of their screen or at the top, the development team dropped the feature for Windows 11. However, the operating system might add this feature in the future. Stay tuned for more new techniques.
