Oh what a beautiful day... A big day for the PC industry.

@bacadd I'm excited, Windows is awesome

Super excited for this 🎉 The team has been cooking up 🧑‍🍳 a lot of improvements… stay tuned!

@brandonleblanc Very useful read

I highly recommend #WindowsInsiders read this blog post about what we're doing in response to feedback about Windows.

@zacbowden I remember him during Build going thru oobe in 2023 and how funny that was.

THE Scott Hanselmen is working on the Windows K2 effort. Windows is truly saved 🙌

@windowsinsider @pavandavuluri @marcusash I'd love for there to be a UK meet up sometime

Was fantastic to meet with local Seattle Windows Insiders last night, engaging in meaningful discussion around where Windows and the Windows Insider Program should head into the future. Look forward to meeting with more of you - stay tuned!

@marcusash Ooh nice. I'm excited.

There’s a lot of work underway that Pavan shared earlier today. Something that I know has been at the top of a lot of people’s minds is the feeling that feedback goes into a void, without real people to review and see it on the other side. To help with that, I’ll be taking on an expanded role as the exec sponsor of the Windows Insider Program to listen, engage, and help shape what’s ahead with the Windows community. Over the coming weeks, we’ll also introduce you to members of the product teams that will help you get answers on the topics you care about most. I’d love to hear from you. What would you like to see more of from us as we get started?

What a awesome end to the week. Been a Windows user and fan for years. My first computer I grew up using was a Windows PC.

@TeaAndDates Keep up the awesome work

Since (re)joining Windows a few years ago, I've never seen my team as excited about an initiative as they are about this. Can't wait to get these improvements and fixes to Start, Taskbar, File Explorer, and more out to customers!

@khmyznikov @zacbowden Awesome 🙂😊☺️ Keep up the awesome work

@techosarusrex @zacbowden I guess after such a big announcement, it won’t take long. Stay tuned 😉

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@khmyznikov @zacbowden I can't wait to try this and provide feedback

@zacbowden Screenshot you shared with context menu is super early debug build; it will be in Settings for selfhost. There are a few things here and there, plus final UI polish, but overall looking good already. I'm almost sure you'll not able to set custom size, only default and expanded.

@khmyznikov @PdroPM Ah OK

@techosarusrex @PdroPM It's just for debug. We didn't make the PR for proper Settings landed this week. But should be there shortly.

Ok. Here the full Pics of the movable Taskbar in #Windows ❤️ A lot of people have been waiting for this.

@brandonleblanc @XenoPanther @JenMsft OK thanks Just very excited to try it out. Im very excited

@techosarusrex @XenoPanther The Store publishing may be ongoing (according to @JenMsft) so I would give it a bit and check again.

Has anyone receieved the new FBH? I'm not seeing anything right now on 29553

@brandonleblanc @XenoPanther I'm not seeing it either

@XenoPanther Did you check for updates in the Store?

@zacbowden Where did you get the graphic of the context menu

@pavandavuluri I'm so excited It's times like these where I love being a Windows fan and Windows Insider.

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…
