Why was the tablet-optimised taskbar removed in 22623.1325?

Anonymous

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.

Just to confirm, did you use step 2 in option 3?

I used this as reported in step 2, all it does is increasing the icon spacing, never gets the collapsed state with the reduced size of the taskbar as shown in the picture above. 🤷‍♂️
```
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"TabletPostureTaskbar"=dword:00000001
```

I used option three below for my desktop PC since it wouldn't otherwise be supported.

If it is natively supported, then you could use option 1 or 2 instead.

Hi Brink,

No matter which option I try, on Desktop or Tablet, I can never get this collapsed mode. 🤷‍♂️
