Apparently Shitrosoft did not like the shell hack and decided to gut and kill the feature entirely.
What is wrong with this trash company riddled with cretins?
What kind of braindead RETARD thinks of these things?
By the way, I initially was just going to create a fresh partition to test W11 on, but the installer figured **bleep** it, I'll show you nothing but a spinning throbber and by the time it finished it overwrote my W10 system and upgraded against my will. Pajeet tier coding. Nothing but mentally ill **bleep** eaters left in the development department. Death and famine to this rotten company. **bleep** you.

uaetwiuo7 woke madness seems to be plaguing companies.
From a UI perspective I can understand it avoid distractions but that is the system tray its meant to inform you at all times quickly but the reason I suspect is due to the notification toasts these are priority over just flipping being able to access the icons in full view.
From a UX perspective its a nightmare its causes anxiety for me and I am neurodiverse I get p(ssed off in minutes especially when you are a dev and have many system try icons.

Windows 11 - All you need to do is right click on the task bar and go to 'Settings.'
Then move this slider to 'off'.- edwardsdigitalJun 27, 2024Copper ContributorAll this does is get rid of the tray expansion and completely hides the hidden icons so you won't even know something is running. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I have verified this by ticking off the hidden icon menu as you suggested and then hiding a currently running program and it just disappears with no indication the program is still running.
- dellsff2380Jun 13, 2024Copper Contributorharuncosovic's response works. it baffles me why Microsoft don't have this by default. monitors are bigger/wider. many other options too. another example: you cannot add 'this pc' to the taskbar???
