You can configure a lot of settings here to customize the taskbar to your liking and use-case and it's fairly flexible. These include locking the taskbar, hiding it in tablet mode, changing its location, disabling badges, combining taskbar buttons, and a separate batch of settings for multiple displays and contacts. Microsoft offers a ton of customization options for the taskbar in Windows 10, and some of them can be seen above. Taskbar personalization settings in Windows 10 On the right side of the taskbar, we have a space for the recent "News and Interests" widget (that can be disabled), following by some other system icons such as battery, internet connectivity, device volume, time and date, and the notification tray. Personally, I pin my most-used apps to the taskbar with the least-used apps pinned closer to the left corner. You can pin items like apps and shortcuts to the taskbar depending upon your use-case. You can right-click on the taskbar and then choose to hide or show certain controls using the context menu.

Taskbar in Windows 10Īs usual, we start with the Windows 10 taskbar to freshen up our memories a bit. For the purpose of this hands-on, we'll be taking a look at Windows 11 build 22000.168 that was released last week versus a publicly available and up-to-date Windows 10 (version 21H1 build 19043.1165). Today, we'll be taking a look at the taskbar, which has gone through a major revamp in Windows 11 and is usually the first thing that people notice in Microsoft's marketing material and promotion.īefore we dive into the taskbar, it is important to remember that given Windows 11's active development status, it's possible that some of the things we talk about may change by the time of general availability. So far, we have explored and discussed Search, Widgets, the Start menu, and Snap Layouts and Snap Groups in considerable detail. While the OS is still under active development, we feel that it is worth looking into some of its features in more detail and give our readers an idea about what to expect come October 5, or whenever they decide to upgrade. Following its release in the Windows Insider Program a couple of months ago, Windows 11 finally has a general availability date of October 5, roughly a month from now.
