Microsoft tests Windows taskbar tweaks you’ll actually care about

From PC World: Microsoft is testing tweaks to the Windows 11 taskbar that may return it—somewhat—to the glory days of Windows 10, according to reports by beta testers.

Microsoft is apparently testing two features: item labels, as well as the ability to ungroup items. A third, the ability to hide the date and time, is apparently being worked on as well.

Microsoft tests new features in both the Windows Insider Canary Channel and Dev Channel, both avenues for code, which may or may not eventually ship to actual mainstream users. Microsoft released a pair of new builds late on Wednesday: Insider Build 23440 for the Dev Channel, and Insider Build 23546 for the Canary Channel. The Canary Channel is for the next iteration of Windows (Windows 12, hypothetically) while the Dev Channel focuses on Windows 11.

What Twitter leaker Albacore discovered, and Windows Latest confirmed, are the three new features. (Microsoft disclosed the ability to turn off date and time in its Build 23440 notes.)
