Microsoft has updated the Beta Channel builds for Windows 11 Insiders, to 22621.1250 and 22623.1250 respectively, and although there’s not much new, a new way for IT administrators to manage the new Taskbar Search feature. Microsoft has already provided a way to “Disable Search,” but these new settings allow for more granular changes:
- Hide: If you enable this policy setting and set it to hide, search on taskbar will be hidden by default.
- Search icon only: If you enable this policy setting and set it to “Search icon only,” the search icon will be displayed on the taskbar by default.
- Search icon and label: If you enable this policy setting and set it to “Search icon and label,” the search icon and label will be displayed on the taskbar by default.
- Search box: If you enable this policy setting and set it to “Search box,” the search box will be displayed on the taskbar by default.
After that, there’s just a list of fixes (you can once again type “F” in the search box, woohoo!), be sure to check them out over at the Windows Insider blog.
