For quicker access to Search, Task view, Widgets, and Chat, Windows 11 features a revamped taskbar with a center alignment and numerous additional buttons.
However, the buttons are a waste of taskbar space because shortcuts (Windows key + S, Tab, W, and C) provide access to all of these features. Windows 11 makes it simple to reveal or conceal the buttons that show up on the toolbar if you don’t require any of them.
This tutorial will show you how to conceal several buttons in the Windows 11 taskbar to free up more space.
