Shock move by Microsoft: company actually makes Windows 11 better with taskbar improvements

Other useful tweaks for better mousing and more

Elsewhere in another preview version of Windows 11, build 26257 in the Canary channel, an option to duplicate a tab has been added to File Explorer in the right-click menu for the tab.

There’s also a smart tweak for the mouse scroll wheel – the ability to change the scrolling direction (so when you roll the wheel towards you, the page will move up, instead of down – you can have it either way, basically). It’s also possible to turn off ‘enhanced mouse pointer precision’ to boot, if you don’t like that functionality.

If you want to try these features out, you’ll need to join the Windows Insider Program as a tester. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait for them to make their way through the various test versions of Windows 11, until they get to public release.

There’s always a chance that features in testing could be pulled by Microsoft, but hopefully, the taskbar-related tweaks in particular will be available to all Windows 11 users soon. Windows Latest believes that they’ll roll out to everyone as part of the Windows 11 24H2 update.
