For those with unsupported devices, Microsoft says it’ll continue to support Windows 10 with version 21H2 and other updates, but big changes will remain exclusive to the new OS. Windows 11 is currently in the final stages of development and it will begin rolling out to eligible consumers later this year. In theory, this is a step in the right direction, but it may result in the removal of some features, at least for now. It’s important to note that modernization of the taskbar is necessary to improve the flyout, system tray and notification center experience. Microsoft officials confirmed that they’re listening to the feedback from the Windows Insiders, so it’s likely that some of these missing features will be restored in the final build of the operating system, but there’s no guarantee. On unactivated PCs, you can still customize Windows using Registry editor, although there’s no guarantee that this will remain the case. This move would further streamline the experience and reduce the clutter, but it could be a problem for users who haven’t activated Windows. In the unactivated copy of Windows, it’s not possible to access personalization options. In the preview builds, Microsoft is experimenting with moving all taskbar context menu (right-click menu) options to the Settings app.
Similarly, some icons (depending on the apps) may no longer appear in the system tray after updating to Windows 11 and certain apps can no longer customize areas of the Taskbar, according to Microsoft documents. While snap groups may be a nice feature if you frequently snap apps together, it’s can also be annoying.Īt the moment, Windows doesn’t allow the un-grouping of taskbar icons. This new multitasking experience is visible when you snap together two or more apps and hover over open apps on the taskbar. Windows taskbar now includes support for a new feature called “snap groups”, which lets you easily switch back to the snapped windows. But I´m afraid that I´ll have to reinstall everything.Unfortunately, this feature is no longer supported, at least for now. Even tried different edits in the registry but there my changes are not saved an put back to Now with 7 on this one installed I can´t get my Taskbar back on top. PC Windows 7 works fine including the Taskbar (clean install) I didn´t care about that problem. No operating system has every feature, but there’s one essential feature missing from Windows 10: the ability to lock windows in the top layer of your desktop, displayed over everything else. Short prior upgrading I noticed that all Windows covered the Taskbar, but I didn´t care because I already planned to upgrade.
I´m having exact the same problem, but without any Dock apps installed.
