Taskbar Overflow Menu​

The
taskbar now features an overflow menu to better manage your open applications. This menu provides an entry point to view all your overflowed apps in one space, making multitasking smoother.

Expanded Nearby Sharing​

Windows 11 now supports sharing content to more devices using the Nearby Sharing feature. This feature allows you to discover and share to additional devices, including desktops, enhancing the ease of sharing files or links with nearby systems.

Gradual Rollout​

It's important to note that not all Insiders will see these new features immediately. Microsoft will monitor feedback before making these features available to more users. So,
