After ignoring and even undermining the platform for years, Microsoft is racing to improve Windows 11 this year.

You don't have to wait for the next big update—these Windows 11 changes are already being tested in Insider builds right now.

Microsoft is improving Windows 11 with faster File Explorer, movable taskbar support, Start menu customization, and better driver recovery.

The various Start Menu improvements that Microsoft detailed earlier this month, alongside the new alternative taskbar positions, are now available for Insider testing.

Windows 11 is getting more Start menu customization, with the latest build now allowing you to toggle on or off specific parts of it.

The update is optional, but it should increase load times for key Windows features like the Start menu, search, or Action Center.

Microsoft is finally fixing the Windows 11 Start menu with resizing, section toggles, and improved recommendation controls. Here's all you need to know.
