Windows 11 Taskbar
Just some thoughts on Windows 11, wich makes is literally a pain to use in a Business Environment.
- Lack of mulitrow Taskbar (like 2 rows as it was in Windows 10)q
- Having many open applications, especially on a small screen (eg. 14 inch) fills the taskbar very quickly, and the ones not fitting get moved (hidden from plain sight) makes the whole working process more tedious.
- The setting for the Grouping of Tabs set to "never" is a nice addition, but is it buggy as hell. Like, open a Bunch of Chrome Tabs, if the Taskbar gets too full, all Chrome Tabs gets moved to the submenu, and most of the Taskbar again is useless and wasting space.
- Grouped Items in the Taskbar adds a lot of overhead if you have to switch between applications on a regular basis (like i said, in a business environment this is really stressful).
- The Items in the Taskbar having different widths drives me nuts.
- I get this, this is just personal preference, but i like a clean look with a standardized look and feel.
Basically, the only thing thats preventing me from changing to Windows 11 is the total lack of customization Options for the Taskbar, compared to Windwos 10.
Windows 10 in that regard is way superior to Windows 11.
Making the Taskbar "more simple" is a nice Idea, i have no doubt about that, but making it "more simple" at the cost of usability is just madness, and not actually achieving the goal that should be strived for by making it "more simple" in the first place.
These are just the most critical missing Features from the taskbar, wich might get me to switch to Windwos 11.
But just to be complete about it, there are many more now missing Features for the Taskbar in Windows 11 compared to Windows 10.

Windows 11's design philosophy emphasizes a cleaner, more modern aesthetic, but this can come at the expense of flexibility and power-user features. Many business users and power users feel these changes hinder productivity, especially when managing multiple applications or workflows.

Your perspective underscores a common theme: simplification should not come at the expense of usability, especially in enterprise settings. Windows 10's taskbar was more flexible, and many users prefer that level of control.
