Microsoft has finally re-added a link to the Task Manager to the taskbar's contextual menu in the latest Windows 11 Insider preview build.
"Based on your feedback, we've added a link to Task Manager when right-clicking on the taskbar," Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.
With today's Dev channel preview build, Microsoft also started rolling out a new settings experience for Widgets allowing users to set the widgets board open on a mouse hover over the taskbar icon.
In a separate Insider release to the Beta channel, the company also re-introduced the touch-optimized taskbar that should make it more comfortable to use Windows 11 devices as a tablet.
In February, Microsoft also brought back taskbar drag and drop support with the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22557 to the Dev Channel.
With that change, Windows 11 allowed users once again to drag and drop files between apps by hovering the mouse over their taskbar icons.
