I like the new Quick Settings panel, though I wish it was a little more in-depth with some of its submenus.
Hopefully, this will improve before Windows 11 ships. You have to move it a few pixels in so that it's exactly on the show desktop button, which is causing issues for lots of people who used to be able to aimlessly through their cursor into the corner and click. That said, Microsoft has moved the Show Desktop button ever so slightly so that it no longer works when you mouse your cursor into the very far corner. This is so the System Tray area looks clean while maintaining that legacy feature, and I much prefer it this way. On the far right of the Taskbar is the "Show desktop" button which still exists but is now invisible until you hover your cursor on to it. The System Tray still includes the old-school overflow menu where apps go to store an icon if they run in the background, and you can still move these icons to the main System Tray on the Taskbar if you wish. Hopefully that'll be something you can do in the future. Confusingly, for the mic it looks like you can use the icon to mute, but you can't. If you're using an app that is using your microphone or location, indicates for either will show up in the System Tray as well. This control lets you play, pause, skip forward, or skip back currently playing music without having to navigate to the music player you're using. If music is playing, you'll also find a new music control UI that sits above the Quick Settings panel. You can edit the Quick Settings panel by adding or removing your most used Quick Actions, just like you could on Windows 10. Instead of each of these things being their own flyout menu that lives on the Taskbar, Microsoft has consolidated them all into this single Quick Settings menu, once again to save space on the Taskbar. This menu is where all of your Action Center Quick Actions have moved to, as well as things like the volume control, audio devices selection, Wi-Fi list, and more. No longer are these icons individual flyouts, but rather one big button that opens a new "Quick Settings" menu. Next to the date and time is your status icons for battery, internet, and volume. Your notifications are housed above the calendar UI in a separate box, where they can be managed, cleared, or actioned upon. The actual notifications UI is now accessed by clicking on the date and time, which will also pull up a calendar flyout. VPN Deals: Lifetime license for $16, monthly plans at $1 & more
