Microsoft's Feedback Hub was created to collect user suggestions for improving Windows 11. Five highly requested features identified by users include:
1. The ability to move the taskbar to the top or side of the screen, which has received 24,046 votes.
2. The option to completely disable recommendations in the Start menu, as users want to hide them permanently.
3. The ability to change the default search engine in Windows 11, which currently defaults to Bing and Microsoft Edge, with no plans for broader availability beyond the European Economic Area.
4. A reduction in Windows 11’s system requirements to allow it to run on older hardware, as many users cannot upgrade from Windows 10 due to current requirements like TPM 2.0.
5. More options for taskbar icons to optimize space, as the existing "never combine" mode has inconsistent behavior that frustrates users.
