Windows taskbar now includes support for a new feature called “snap groups”, which lets you easily switch back to the snapped windows. This new multitasking experience is visible when you snap together two or more apps and hover over open apps on the taskbar. 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. 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. In the preview builds, Microsoft is experimenting with moving all taskbar context menu (right-click menu) options to the Settings app. 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. On unactivated PCs, you can still customize Windows using Registry editor, although there’s no guarantee that this will remain the case.
