Huh. I admit, I didn't expect this so soon. Glad to hear it.
Louis Salkeld@FritzAdalis @JenMsft I didnβt expect it at all. Finally some positive news!

"We're working on adding the ability to move the taskbar in Windows 11" - how about the ability to move where notifications appear?

@SmartmanApps Nothing to share on that currently, but it's a request we're tracking
Brandon Tyson@JenMsft I'm really glad to see these improvements coming. Specifically, I have found the new start menu to provide an inferior experience for screen reader and keyboard users, as compared to the old start menu in Windows 11, as first letter navigation no longer works in the all apps list, even when set to list view, and additionally, pressing escape does not move keyboard focus out of the start menu. I was wondering if these improvements across the board will be focusing on accessibility as well? This was another concern I've had with the Windows Insider Program since the introduction of the CFR technology. When fixes to accessibility regressions are rolled out gradually, I feel as though I cannot accurately test to determine if an accessibility issue has been addressed, due to being unable to tell if I have the fix or not, or if I have the fix and I'm just continuing to encounter the issue under different conditions. I notice that the blog post touches on being able to have control over what features we can try, and I was just wondering if it will also be easier to test accessibility fixes? A good example of what I am referring to is when last year, the issue was fixed on the taskbar where screen readers would just say "pane," but this fix took months to roll out to everyone, and in that period of time I was unable to determine if I had the fix for that issue on my machines. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any input you may have. Thanks again.
Mieszko Εlusarczyk@JenMsft you mean re-adding (after 4 years?)? ;)

Chris@JenMsft I like Windows 11 and Microsoft, BUT why on earth is Microsoft inventing the wheel over and over again??
We already had this option in older Windows versions. Then they removed it to then reintroduce it years later.
There are so many examples, where Microsoft did that and I will never understand it.
