There\u2019s now a tablet-friendly taskbar in testing ahead of the big 22H2 update.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft redesigned nearly every aspect of Windows to work better on tablets for the release of Windows 8, which was part of the reason that update was so unpopular. The tablet optimizations were trimmed back for Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 introduced a\u00a0separate tablet mode that made some buttons larger and displayed the Start Menu in full screen. Tablet mode was removed entirely with the release of Windows 11, but some other tablet-related settings remain.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-831457\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tablet-taskbar-graphic-Large.jpeg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Windows 11 tablet taskbar design\" width=\"1280\" height=\"817\" 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>Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25197 is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, which introduces a new touch-optimized taskbar \u201cdesigned to make you feel more confident and comfortable using your device as a tablet.\u201d The updated design will only <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear on tablet PCs and 2-in-1s (such as the Surface Pro or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/116641\/lenovo-yoga-9i-laptop-review-the-best-2-in-1-companion\/\">Lenovo Yoga 9i<\/a>) when the keyboard is disconnected or folded backwards \u2014 it\u2019s not available on desktops or regular laptops.<\/p>\n<p>The taskbar for tablets collapses into a smaller bar, containing only your status icons, so you\u2019re less likely to accidentally open an app. You can swipe up on the taskbar to expand it again, restoring its usual appearance.
