However, Windows 11 simply hides additional app icons once the taskbar icon is full, leaving Win+Tab or Alt+Tab as the only way to return to a specific application. It\u2019s a terrible experience, so it\u2019s great that Microsoft is finally fixing it.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-819698 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-1-1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Taskbar overflow in current Windows 11\" width=\"1024\" height=\"128\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The current overflow behavior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Microsoft said in a blog post, \u201cthe overflow menu will contain many of the current taskbar behaviors users are familiar with, such as supporting pinned apps, jump list, and extended UI. After invoking overflow, the menu will quietly dismiss once you click outside of it or navigate to an application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The change comes after Microsoft added the ability to drag files onto app icons in the taskbar, which was present on Windows 10 (and earlier versions) but not in the initial release of Windows 11. Drag-and-drop is not yet rolled out to everyone \u2014 Microsoft might be waiting for the big 22H2 update scheduled for later this year. Clock support on multiple monitors is also a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>Besides restoring functionality from Windows 10, Microsoft is working on further improvements to widgets, which were initially accessible from a button on the taskbar. The button was replaced with a dynamic view on the left side of the taskbar, which currently only shows the weather, but it will soon display alerts and other information. Microsoft is also working on an API for third-party developers to create their own widgets, which could potentially be a massive addition for Windows \u2014 Android has supported widgets for years, and they had a resurgence in popularity after Apple added them to iPhones and iPads with iOS 14.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-807327\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Build_Blog_Widgets_UPDATED.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"image of Widgets on Windows 11\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1069\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are many taskbar changes to look forward to with upcoming Windows 11 updates.
