Windows 11 can move the taskbar again. Left, right, or top, with Start and the rest of the interface adjusting around it. The same update opens up the Start menu and Windows search settings, so the layout you look at all day is no longer fixed. There are real limits on multi-monitor setups and autohide, and the video walks through those along with how to check whether your PC has the setting yet.

It is an early look, but the direction matters for anyone standardizing on Microsoft 365. The video includes a walkthrough with the team who built it.
