It would be a step into the right direction, but why not bring optional labels back es well?
To repeat: the bottom of my screen (the taskbar) on my ultrawide monitor is now 95% unused space and 5% icons clutched together in the center. It looks nice I guess, but an idiot could see, that that can absolutely not be the most productive solution for a taskbar.
Can we PLEASE use the single piece of the OS we interact by far the most with in a way that makes us more productive? 😔
Do you have ANY response for your customers Microsoft? Try "we hear your", "we'll look into it" - ANYTHING that gives us hope that at least someone gives a **bleep**..

Unfortunately, this is not true! this feature does not exist in Insider versions 🙂

don't hold your breath, this not the first time something like this has been posted, yet no change. Microsoft are now just apple fanboys who can't build an apple.
MS just makes the same errors all the time. It would have been simple to give their users what they want, a w10 interface and user experience, but no they want unhappy customers who lose productivity everytime they try and make windows more of a crap mac.
One day someone will produce a operating system that runs windows software and has the user experience we want and goodbye MS.

if you are up to some minor hacks, check this out

it works just fine on w11 and lets you enable all the neat features you wish for. i tested that, i see no issues whatsoever. If you are not familiar with searching the app in the git, you can use direct link
