The latest Windows update introduces significant taskbar flexibility, allowing users to position it on any of the four screen edges.
This update also brings a new "Small" mode for the taskbar, reducing its size to conserve screen space on smaller displays. The Start menu has been enhanced with more customization.
The "Recommended" section is now labeled "Recently used," and users can independently control the visibility of pinned apps, recommended content, and all apps.
Furthermore, Windows Search has undergone a major overhaul, featuring a clearer interface that distinguishes between app, Settings, local file, web, and Microsoft Store results.
Users can disable web and Store suggestions for local searches and benefit from automatic indexing of frequently used folders, leading to faster future searches.
