The fact that you couldn't move the taskbar to the top or side of the screen has bothered Windows 11 users ever since launch. As with many frustrating aspects of Windows, there are multiple workarounds to customize the taskbar and its placement using third-party apps and registry hacks. But now, Windows users will finally have a native, reliable option for customizing the taskbar. These changes are currently rolling out over the next couple of weeks to Windows Insider members in the Experimental channel. Hopefully, they make it to a public build in the near future.
Move the taskbar anywhere you want
Credit: MicrosoftIf you dock the taskbar to the side, there's a new option to “Never combine” taskbar buttons and to show full labels for all windows separately. This will basically show you a vertical list of all open windows, even if they're from the same app. Windows Insiders who already have this feature can go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors to customize the taskbar position and icon alignment.

Debloating the Start menu gets easier
Credit: MicrosoftThe Start menu in Windows 11 has expanded to include not just apps, but also recommendations, shortcuts, and even updates from your connected smartphone. If all you really want is a quick way to launch apps, this can seem like too much. Microsoft is now consolidating settings for customizing the Start menu, making it easier to get to the minimal Start menu experience.

Over the next couple of weeks, Microsoft will start adding Start menu customization features to independently show or hide sections like Pinned, Recommended, and All. There will be a separate toggle to disable the Recommended section only in the Start menu (decoupling it from the Recent Files section in the File Explorer), as well as a new size setting for the Start menu, letting you choose between a Small or Large size. Currently, the Start menu automatically adapts to your display, which can be inconsistent if you use multiple displays along with your laptop. Lastly, Microsoft is adding an option to hide your name and profile picture from the Start menu for added privacy. With all these features combined, you can create a Start menu that's smaller, devoid of profile pictures, and only showing apps that you have pinned yourself.
