Microsoft scraps the new Windows 11 system tray after user criticism


The simplified Windows 11 system tray design was close to being launched, but Microsoft backed out at the last minute.

The new design would have removed the full date and time display as well as the notifications icon, with the aim of creating a more stripped-down and barebones system tray. According to company spokesperson Brandon LeBlanc, the decision was made after negative user feedback, with only a few people showing actual interest in the simplified system tray design. He is passionate about technology and is on the ball with the latest product releases and the hottest talking points in the consumer tech industry.
