Add ARY News on Google AAResize Many Windows users have found the taskbar in Windows 11 to be surprisingly limiting. Microsoft redesigned it with a cleaner, modern appearance, but in doing so, they removed several customization options that users had relied on for years.
The most common complaint? The inability to freely reposition the taskbar on the screen. Now, Microsoft appears ready to make changes. They have begun testing a major update to the taskbar and Start menu for Windows 11 Insiders in the Experimental channel.
This change suggests that Microsoft recognizes users want their PCs to feel more personalized again. The key update is the return of a movable taskbar. Instead of being fixed at the bottom, test builds allow users to move it to the top or place it vertically along either side.
