About this tag
The taskbar productivity tag on WindowsForum.com covers practical ways to speed up everyday workflows in Windows 11. Discussions highlight hidden taskbar shortcuts, such as pinning files, folders, and drives, using Shift and Ctrl clicks to open new windows or run apps elevated, and enabling the hidden End Task toggle to force-quit misbehaving apps. The tag also explores related productivity tools like Microsoft's new Calendar app for Windows 11, which aims to address user feedback on the default calendar flyout, and PowerToys 0.91, which enhances the Command Palette and other utilities for power users. These threads focus on concrete, actionable tips rather than generic advice.
