Microsoft is rolling out a Taskbar Overflow feature to Windows Insiders to make it easier to switch between many applications.<\/p>\n
It has launched the test to Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel via Preview Build 25163.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour taskbar will automatically transition into this new overflow state when it has hit its maximum capacity,\u201d Microsoft said<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this state, taskbar will offer an entry point to an overflow menu that allows you to view all your overflowed apps in one space.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAfter invoking overflow, the menu will quietly dismiss once you click outside of it or navigate to an application.\u201d<\/p>\n Currently, the taskbar only shows the most recently opened application when too many applications are running to be displayed.<\/p>\n It is currently unknown if the overflow feature will reach commercial users since features introduced in the Dev Channel may never get released.<\/p>\n Only Windows Insiders have access to the Dev Channel, which Microsoft uses to test features before introducing them to the public.<\/p>\n However, the chances of it releasing to the public will increase once the feature reaches the Beta or Release Preview channels for Windows Insiders.<\/p>\n The Windows developer update has also improved nearby sharing, with Microsoft saying that you can now discover and share to more devices, including desktop PCs.<\/p>\n Microsoft has also introduced a new way to share local files to OneDrive via the built-in Windows Share window, eliminating the need to open OneDrive.<\/p>\n The update also fixes various bugs and known issues with File Explorer, settings, widgets, and live captions.<\/p>\n Microsoft is testing a feature for the Windows 11 Taskbar making it easier to switch between a large number of open applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":453606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[123,70233,28578],"class_list":["post-453602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-microsoft","tag-windows-11","tag-windows-insider-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453602"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
