Microsoft will soon make the Windows 11 taskbar more tablet-friendly.
As per ANI, the software giant has started testing a new taskbar that’s designed for tablet use, with a smaller collapsed state that only shows critical information like the time and date or network and battery status.
This tablet taskbar looks a lot less cluttered, due to the app icons, search, widgets, and the start button is hidden.
A new setting will automatically hide the taskbar when you’re using a device as a tablet, and it will provide more screen space for Windows 11 tablet users. If you wipe up to reveal the full taskbar, the widgets, Start button, search, and app icons are all a lot larger and easier to touch.
Alongside the taskbar changes, Microsoft is also tweaking how widgets work in Windows 11.
