With the continuous development and evolution of the concept of "windows as a service", Microsoft will regularly test the new design concept in the preview version Earlier, for example, a key taskbar feature was disabled in the preview of windows 11, making it impossible for testers to drag and drop happily in pop-up windows From a new change being pushed to users, the company's ideas are always elusive.
Windows Latest Point out: a few weeks ago, Microsoft modified the taskbar. Yes, the icons in the pop-up window of the system tray are difficult to be reordered (show hidden icons).
A post in the official feedback center confirmed that the taskbar drag and drop function had been removed on the grounds of optimizing the tablet experience.
● an official replied: with the special optimization for tablets brought in the update of build 22563, we no longer support dragging icons between the system tray / pop-up windows with hidden icons.
● however, Microsoft later clarified that this change was indeed optimized for the use experience of the taskbar of windows 11 tablet, but it also affected the user experience of the desktop.
The repeated attitude of the company is not difficult to understand. After all, there is a natural gap between tablet and desktop ecology. Fortunately, after being severely criticized by users, Microsoft is withdrawing its change to the desktop taskbar experience.
Starting from windows 11 build 22616, the functions on the taskbar system tray will return to the original version of the operating system. As shown in the above figure, the new preview version can drag the icon freely in the pop-up window of the taskbar / system tray.
In addition, based on the feedback of the majority of users, Microsoft also withdrew the UI improvements made for tablets and will not be provided with the update of windows 11 22h2.
Looking back on the history of this software giant, it will annoy users almost every once in a while. Among the many factors that affect the popularity of windows 11 operating system, there are also some changes or restrictions inexplicably introduced by the development team.
Of course, even if there is this compromise, it does not mean that Microsoft will give up providing more exclusive optimizations for the desktop of tablet computers. I hope the company doesn't forget its failure in the market of Windows 8 operating system. After all, only by listening to users' feedback can we avoid taking such detours again and again.
