Windows 11
Windows 11 is in full development, Microsoft is working on the release of numerous updates that will further enrich the operating system with new features. The first of these would already be arriving between the months of February and March , at least according to the specialized insider WalkingCat , usually reliable when it comes to rumors about Windows, as well as some alleged sources coming directly from Redmond itself. This update is also expected to precede the recently reported “Continuous Innovation” update, which is scheduled for release in May 2023.
According to the preview build log, Microsoft would be working to further optimize the use of the taskbar in tablets, something the company has actually been working on for some time, since the first internal builds of Windows 11 21H2. Some problems of youth, encountered in the test phase by users participating in the Insider program, however, forced to withdraw the new bar and work on it again to make it free from defects. In the next update, the new application bar can be collapsed and expanded: the first will allow you to take advantage of more space on the screen, hiding the app icons, and for this reason it is specifically designed for devices with small displays. The second instead allows you to take advantage of the complete bar, with the start menu, shortcuts for apps and widgets. Switching from one mode to another can be done with an up or down swipe gesture.

As for the rest, the ability to drag apps directly onto the bar should also return, to quickly create shortcuts, as well as a new search function in Task Manager, the ability to enable the second hand in the clock, a panel full-screen widgets and possible other functions.
Barring changes, Microsoft plans to eventually release the last big update of 2023 in the fall, similar to the Windows 11 22H2 update. The purpose of the company is the release of numerous minor features, as well as the traditional updates with big news.
