Why was the tablet-optimised taskbar removed in 22623.1325?

The tablet-optimized taskbar has been working perfectly well for months, & suddenly it's been removed without warning. The blog post about the update doesn't say anything. Just something about how there was a fix for an issue causing the taskbar to be cut off after resolution changes.

Does anyone know why a perfectly useful feature was removed?

For no obvious reason, certainly nothing I have changed, my Lenovo Yoga that had suffered from the missing Tablet Optimized Taskbar now has it back today.

Hi Bree,

Confirmed, I have the option again in Taskbar settings and also the actual collapsed taskbar when it switches to tablet mode with Build 22624.1537.

Now we have to wait for the same fix to be released to Public build.

Good to have the option to turn it off, many users don't need it or don't want the extra annoyance. 🤣🤷‍♂️

This is a Lenovo YOGA 920-13IKB, fully supported 2-in-1 laptop.

    Those with that setting natively support tablet-optimized taskbar like in option 1 and 2.

    Option 3 is for devices that don't support it, but it may not always work.

    My 2-in-1 Lenovo yoga 920 supports tablet mode, why don't I get the menu?

    Yeah, that should of added it. You might see if restarting may be needed, but usually it doesn't.

    I did restart, but it made no difference.

    From what I have seen, I think the users that still get the collapsed taskbar are the same ones that still have this menu.

    Unclear why that menu is only on some machines and not others that are on the same windows Build number?
