JAKARTA – Microsoft soon made the new Windows 11 taskbar a little more friendly for tablets. The US software giant has started testing a new taskbar designed for tablet use, with a smaller collapsing state that only displays important information such as time and date or network and battery status.

This tablet's taskbar looks a lot tidier, thanks to the app icons, search, Widgets, and the "Start" button that can be hidden. The new setting will automatically hide the taskbar when you use your device as a tablet, and it will provide more screen space for Windows 11 tablet users. If you delete to open the full taskbar, widgets, Start button, search, and app icons are all remote. bigger and easier to touch.

Along with these taskbar changes, Microsoft is also changing the way widgets work in Windows 11. The current Dev Channel test version also includes more information and dynamic content in widgets.

"This will make it easier for you to find and engage with widgets and new news content through your feed," said the Windows Insider team, as quoted by The Verge. “This release focuses on creating discoverable widgets from feeds and over time we plan to make feeds more personal.”

Microsoft is also testing 37 new emojis in Windows 11, including the troll, beans, and melting face emoji that are also being developed on Android, iOS, and other platforms with Emoji 14.0.

This latest test version of Windows 11 will also include improvements to make it easier to snap the most relevant windows next to each other, with suggested Microsoft Edge tabs appearing in the snap help. You will now see the three newest Edge tabs when you try to capture a window, and these can be disabled in the Windows 11 settings section.

As usual, these new Windows 11 features will be tested and modified and may not appear in the operating system for months. Microsoft's head of devices and Windows, Panos Panay, recently revealed that the company will be adding more features to Windows 11 in the coming months rather than waiting for the big annual release.

“Over time, you will see us releasing new features to Windows 11 for end-users more frequently in addition to our annual updates,” said Panay. “We will take advantage of the various update mechanisms at our disposal, including Microsoft Store service and updates. Our goal is to provide continuous innovation, giving you the best experience all year round.”
