Why was the tablet-optimised taskbar removed in 22623.1325?

Why am I being asked to explain something you posted, that is irrelevant to the discussion?

The reason you are confused is probably because you skim read the original post, decided the discussion was about settings, & are now talking about a version of the thread that you have constructed in your head.

The issue I am having is that the tablet-optimised taskbar is gone. Not that a setting is missing. Not that something has changed to 'off' by default & needs to be turned back on (never mind that the post you've quoted only mentions it being off by default when an organisation is handling things). The feature used to work as it did in the quoted paragraph beginning 'New!', collapsing while running programs, & expanding the rest of the time, a little taller than its normal state when a keyboard is attached, & with more widely-spaced icons. Now it does not do this. It really is that simple.

Your readiness to help is an admirable quality, but it's a good idea to know what you're helping with before throwing yourself in

Not something I posted, something MS posted.

I have a tablet and I don't see the settings they are talking about, nor the optimized taskbar, with any build. 🤣🤷‍♂️

One thing you are missing, is that when you are using an insider build the organization in that case is MSFT, and they control what is enabled and what is not. 🤐

Yes I don't get it either unless its the folding tablets they are on about

Thay are taking about 2-in-1 that can be used as tablets. Either foldable or detachable keyboard.

But I don't see the setting they are referring to: Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors.

Something doesn't make sense. 🤷‍♂️

The only person talking about settings is you

That is what the MS blog shows, not me. 🤷‍♂️

Do you have any explanation for what they are saying here?

• ***New!***This update introduces a touch-optimized taskbar for 2-in-1 devices that you can use as a tablet. There are two states of this taskbar: collapsed and expanded. To switch between the two states, swipe up and down on the bottom of your screen. When collapsed in tablet mode, the taskbar recedes to give you more screen space and keeps you from accidentally opening the taskbar. When expanded in tablet mode, the taskbar is optimized to be easier to use with touch. Your taskbar will automatically change to this optimized version when you disconnect or fold back the keyboard.
• This feature only works on devices that can be used as tablets and is on by default. **To change that, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors. The setting is called “Optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet.”**If your company manages Windows updates for your device, this feature will be off by default. Administrators can turn it on using the new commercial control for continuous innovation.
