"The update, which is rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Experimental channel, lets you place the taskbar on the bottom, top, left, or right side of the screen. You can adjust the alignment of the icons inside the taskbar, as well as open the Start menu drawer from wherever you placed it. Windows 11 Insiders can access a shorter taskbar, too, which could come in handy for devices with smaller displays."
"There's also an option to choose from a "Small" or "Large" Start menu. The Start menu's layout will soon get easier to adjust as well, with new toggles that will allow you to show or hide the "Pinned," "Recommended," and "All" sections. The company is also renaming the "Recommended" section to "Recent" to "better reflect what the section primarily shows, including recently installed apps and recently used files.""
"You can now hide your name and profile picture from the Start menu, too, in case you're sharing your screen or making a presentation. These features are rolling out in the "coming weeks" to the Experimental Channel. "We have talked about earning trust through steady and visible progress," Microsoft design director Diego Baca says in the blog post. "Start and taskbar are where that trust is tested most, every time you sit down at your PC.""
Windows 11 test features for Insiders in the Experimental channel enable repositioning the taskbar on the bottom, top, left, or right side of the screen. Users can adjust taskbar icon alignment and open the Start menu drawer from the new taskbar location. A shorter taskbar option is available for smaller displays. Start menu size can be set to Small or Large. New toggles allow showing or hiding the Pinned, Recommended, and All sections, and the Recommended section is renamed to Recent to reflect recently installed apps and recently used files. Users can also hide their name and profile picture from the Start menu.
