If an app isn’t running, but its icon is on your desktop, you can pin it to the Taskbar as well.Right-click on an active icon and select “Pin to taskbar” If you want its icon to remain in the taskbar even after you’ve closed it, then right-click on the icon and select “Pin to taskbar.” If an app is running, its icon will appear in the taskbar with a line underneath to indicate that it is active.Pinning an app to the taskbar at the bottom can be a little - well, weird. For now, let’s concentrate on how you can adjust the current Windows 11 taskbar.
It’s possible that Microsoft will bring back some of these abilities in future updates of the new OS.
These apps let you customize Windows 11 to bring the taskbar back to life For example, there’s one that purportedly lets you move the taskbar to the top of the screen, and another that lets you change the size of the taskbar. (Although the fact that Cortana is no longer automatically part of that search box can be considered, by many at least, as a plus.)Īnother thing: the taskbar is now permanently affixed to the bottom of the screen - so if you were more comfortable having it on top of the screen, or on either side, you’re out of luck.Īs you might imagine, Windows users are already posting fixes for at least some of these issues - as long as you’re comfortable tweaking your Windows Registry. The search box is no longer within the taskbar but is accessed by first clicking on the Start menu - an extra step. For example, the old, familiar Start menu with its configurable Live Tiles is now gone. If you’ve updated your computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you may find that your taskbar isn’t quite as configurable - and perhaps not quite as useful - as it was before.
