Event details
Interesting.
I can see the "All" button on the start menu right above the apps in the start menu. Can't you?
Also, I have 10 icons/apps in my systray right now, so they do seem to fit/work. What feature of Windows 10 are you referring to that turns on all systray icons at once? If i did that, I'd have 27 in there right now and my taskbar'd be full.
Also, you CAN move the start icon to the left of the taskbar by policy.
Out of curiosity, how long should the team defer W10 EOL? Until all W10 users have retired? 😉
Yeah, we didn't have to click an All button before. It isn't as obvious for everyone as it is for you.
No, they should defer until they have feature parity on the Start Meny, System Tray and Taskbar.... things that should have been there on day 1. That's especially true considering they pretend that Windows 11 is a "Feature Update" to Windows 10. It doesn't seem unreasonable to keep full feature parity.
For someone that found the All button so easily, I'm surprised you haven't found the option to show all icons. If you have 27 icons in your systray, then you probably need to disable some items from your startup. Showing all of them is one of multiple reasons for a two row Taskbar. My 14 icons there have no problem fitting, with plenty of room for pinned and open apps.

Yeah, I get that some folks miss the dual-row layout. 😉
We have customers asking for Edge to support dual-row tabs. They have about 40 open at once... Which, thanks to Edge's sleeping tab feature actually works. 😁
Actually, I prefer to keep my desktop and Taskbar as clean as possible, so I turn as much off as possible. I just tried it now to see what you were explaining.
