There’s a lot of legacy content hidden in the Windows 11 operating system, but that might change soon. It is understood that Windows will receive another major update in 2024, and we have discussed the development of Windows 12 before. Before this revamp, though, Microsoft appears to be aiming to eliminate some ancient legacy features from the operating system. As you probably know, the old-style taskbar and traditional functions such as folders and file explorers are currently preserved in the latest version of the operating system. While Microsoft has added rounded corners almost everywhere in Windows, the company hasn’t removed legacy features like the old taskbar, system tray, and more. Now you will see a small icon next to the input method on the far right of the taskbar in Windows 11. By default, there will also be a small arrow to allow you to expand the drawer to view all system tray icons. However, Windows 11 Build 25921 is an update for Canary channel testers, and in this version, testers found that it tried to eliminate some traditional features in the operating system. This includes the old taskbar and system tray, but the company is just beginning to remove them, so most people won’t notice these changes. This process may take several months to complete. Currently, the old taskbar still exists in the operating system, but the system tray’s traditional notification built-in now appears to have changed. This is because Microsoft removed several lines of code that might have supported legacy system box infrastructure. Does this move mean the end of third-party customization features like ExplorerPatcher? We don’t know yet, but it’s possible that apps like ExplorerPatcher won’t work in the near future unless they make major changes to their built-ins. ExplorerPatcher is a well-known utility that restores the Windows 10 taskbar to Windows 11. The legacy cleanup of Windows 11 will take time. Microsoft isn’t going to ditch all old components at once. The old version of File Explorer will still work in the old control panel. You can enable the legacy interface by manually entering the “C:” directory in the address bar of the manager, and it will automatically open and switch to the legacy UI. In the latest preview version, Windows 11 has made some simplifications, such as updating the context menu and improving the dark mode of the pop-up window, but these improvements may not be noticed by ordinary users, and Microsoft has never documented them. case. ▲ The task column has added an end handler option. The Windows 11 23H2 update will be released later this year and is expected to bring these changes. It’s worth noting that the old taskbar, system tray, file explorer, and control panel are still in the operating system, but Microsoft is taking steps to eliminate the old code. The feature update also brings other improvements, including HDR support for desktop backgrounds, Windows Copilot with plug-ins, ungrouping of taskbars, new file explorers, and more.
