As part of the latest Windows 11 update, Microsoft is updating the hidden icons flyout on the lower right of the Taskbar to match the new visuals of Windows 11.
Microsoft Teams Chat app, which is based on Microsoft Teams desktop client, is now rolling out to Windows 11 users.
With the new Chat app, Microsoft is extending Teams capability and allowing users to launch chat or meetings directly from the taskbar.
Changes and Improvements The touch keyboard icon in the Taskbar has been adjusted to be more consistent with the size of the other icons in the corner of the Taskbar.
The Taskbar calendar flyout will now fully collapse down when clicking the chevron in the top corner to give you more room for notifications.
Added the missing settings icons for the context menu entries when right clicking network, volume, and battery in the Taskbar.
