#windows 11 update

Microsoft is bringing back the ability to move the taskbar in Windows 11, nearly five years after the feature was removed at launch. Users will soon be able to reposition the taskbar to the top or sides of the screen, addressing one of the most requested features from the Windows community. The update will first roll out to Windows Insiders in the coming weeks before expanding to all users later this year. The change is part of a broader set of updates aimed at improving performance, reliability, and overall user experience. Microsoft said the move responds to long-standing feedback about missing functionality in Windows 11 compared to previous versions. Other updates in testing include improvements to File Explorer for faster launch and smoother navigation, more flexible Windows Update controls, and additional customization options for widgets. The return of the movable taskbar marks a significant reversal from Windows 11’s original design, which removed several customization features that were available in earlier versions like Windows 10. Microsoft has started rolling out new preview updates for Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel.
