Watch: Microsoft shows off Windows 10-like Windows 11’s movable taskbar in action

 [[{“value”:”

Microsoft has already confirmed it’s working on a movable taskbar for Windows 11, and it will be similar to what we had on Windows 10. Now, some users argued that the feature would take months to ship, largely because of the company’s reputation. But as I reported, Microsoft is serious about meeting deadlines, and the movable taskbar is finally here.

Microsoft is internally testing the movable taskbar, and I’m told that it’s almost ready for public rollout. Ahead of the rollout, an engineer at Microsoft shared a video on X showing an early version of the movable taskbar. While the video has already been deleted, I saved a copy, and you can watch it below.

Now, it’s important to note a few things here. First, this video was captured in a virtual machine running an internal build of Windows 11, so it’s rough, including the animations and how the right-click menu opens. Second, the right-click menu where you see the “move” buttons is only for debugging.

You’ll be able to move the taskbar from Windows Settings.

Microsoft told me that the right-click menu looks out of place in this video or other screenshots floating on the internet because it’s used internally to quickly debug the movable taskbar.

Microsoft has promised to ship major improvements for Windows 11 every month throughout the year, and the movable taskbar is the number one priority.

Windows Latest has also seen an internal build where you can resize the taskbar, similar to how you could do it on Windows 10.
