Fixing the Annoying Problem with Windows 11’s Taskbar

The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3212 doesn’t introduce any groundbreaking features, but it tackles a pesky issue that has been plaguing some Windows 11 users. According to Betanews, some users have been experiencing delays in the taskbar appearing and becoming functional.

When the taskbar takes a while to load, users are left without quick access to essential features like opening applications and accessing settings. The KB5034845 update aims to address this sluggish taskbar behavior. Microsoft’s support document for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3212 (Beta Channel) states that the update fixes the problem of the taskbar being slow to appear after booting up and logging in.

In addition to the taskbar fix, Microsoft has also addressed another bug related to the taskbar in the Windows 11 preview build. This bug caused the search function to open briefly and then immediately close.

The new build also includes enhancements to widgets, improving notification alerts for users. While the improved taskbar is currently only available in the beta, development, and canary channels, it may take a few more weeks before it reaches stable versions of Windows 11 set for release soon.

Keep an eye out for the upcoming Microsoft patch day on March 12, as it could potentially bring the improved taskbar to the final version of Windows 11.
