Microsoft's new update makes your taskbar a productivity hub - here's how


Three new 'companion' taskbar apps are coming to your work computer starting next month.

In an update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the company detailed a new suite of companion apps, or apps that automatically launch when you start your computer and give you quick access to important information straight from your Windows taskbar. File Search companion lets you quickly find Microsoft 365 files (from OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, and other services) straight from your Windows taskbar, meaning you don't need to switch apps to find what you need. It syncs across all of your devices, and it integrates with other tools to let you view and manage your schedule, tasks, and to-do lists in one place.
