Microsoft Ships Major Updates for Windows 11's Taskbar and Start Menu

Microsoft is gearing up to roll out significant updates for Windows 11's Taskbar and Start menu. These changes, which have been in public preview since earlier this year, aim to address users' complaints and bring highly requested features.

The updated Taskbar will be movable and resizable, while the customizable Start menu will allow users to adjust its size and different sections. Other quality-of-life improvements are also on the way.

These new features have made their way to the Windows 11 Release Preview Channel, which is the last stop before they're released to the public. Typically, features in this channel appear in a public update within two or three weeks, so it's likely that the updates will begin rolling out later this month for users who receive the latest updates as soon as they're available.

For those who don't want to wait, joining the Windows Insider Release Preview Channel can provide early access to these features. However, Microsoft is rolling them out in waves, so users may not see the changes immediately.
