Windows 11 taskbar has space... for 11 icons when run on a laptop screen.

This is killing my (and maaaany others) productivity since in some jobs you constantly need to switch between multiple windows.

Yea, extrnal programs exist, but they can br buggy, cost extra money on top... and good luck installing them on a coporate computer.

Ive seen like 20-30 people with the same problem: taskbar being useless. Windows 11 is bad at switching windows.

The taskbar cant even highlight the active window since everything is "graphically flat" too



I'd use multiple desktops if you have that many windows open. For the highlight it should have a different color?


That's what alt+tab is for


When you need to move between windows all the time it isnt.

Also that stuff worked correctly in windows 10 (and 7 and XP...) and was just removed.

Why? To cut costs? It kills corporate productivity...


And yet you're on Windows. Switch. Windows will get worse before it can get better. Try KDE on Fedora, for example.
