Microsoft is finally fixing Windows 11, and these 4 upcoming features prove it

Microsoft is rolling out several long-requested improvements to Windows 11 in 2026. Key upcoming changes include a movable taskbar (finally returning after years of absence), more granular update control (including pausing updates to a specific date), a shift back to native system apps away from web-based wrappers, and a built-in feature flags page for Windows Insiders to toggle experimental features without third-party tools like ViveTool. Additional improvements include better File Explorer performance, removal of unnecessary Copilot branding, and Sysmon integration for system admins.
