Windows 11 will get taskbar changes, app folders in the Start menu, and more

If you've been paying attention to Windows 11 Insider builds lately, you may have noticed that Microsoft announced that there will be no Dev Channel builds this week, just like it skipped the week before. Earlier, Microsoft said the release "did not meet the quality standards" it had set, and this week it announced it was "still working on some issues."

The reason for the delay may also be the addition of new features, which recent leaks seem to indicate.

For example, new features such as stickers and tablet mode taskbar have been discovered. Speaking of the taskbar, other improvements such as overflow popups have also surfaced. Finally, changes to Task Manager may be coming as well.

But it doesn't end like this today, with fellow Windows Central reporting that it has learned about more new features, citing its own sources.

The first of these is described as the Applications folder in the Start menu, which will allow users to arrange different applications. The feature apparently works by dragging and dropping an icon over an existing one, which will create a new folder for both.

Windows Central says the App folder in the Start menu is one of the most requested features from Insiders. While we're on the topic of drag and drop, the feature will also be coming to the taskbar.

Next up, we have a new Snap Bar snap UX that provides more options when snapping different application windows. In terms of aesthetic changes, Acrylic effects are added to the traditional title bar.

Switching to tablet mode will apparently greet users with a new start menu and quick settings panel that can be brought up via touch gestures at the bottom of the screen and would otherwise be hidden, presumably to increase desktop size .

These features are expected to gradually roll out to Insiders over the coming weeks.

The above is the detailed content of Windows 11 will get taskbar changes, app folders in the Start menu, and more. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
