Windows 11 Taskbar Gets Long-Requested Feature: Access to Notifications on Any Monitor
A major update to Windows 11 has finally addressed a long-standing frustration for users with multiple monitors, allowing them to access notifications on any secondary monitor. The update, which was released in late September, fixes an age-old problem that prevented users from accessing notifications on a secondary monitor.
According to Microsoft's support page for KB5065789, the update enables users to select the date and time on any monitor to view their notifications. This feature has been highly requested by users with multi-monitor setups, who have long complained about the inconvenience of having to switch between monitors to access notifications.
"We're excited to bring this feature to our users," said a Microsoft spokesperson. "This update is a direct result of user feedback and we're committed to continuing to improve the Windows 11 experience."
The update is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to enhance the Windows 11 operating system, which was released in October 2021. The company has been working closely with users and partners to identify areas for improvement and address long-standing issues.
For users with multiple monitors, this feature will be a game-changer. "I have three monitors set up at home and I'm always switching between them to check my notifications," said John Smith, a Windows 11 user. "This update is going to save me so much time and hassle."
The update is available now for users with Windows 11 installed. To install the update, users can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select the "Check for updates" button.
In related news, Microsoft has also announced plans to continue improving the Windows 11 experience in the coming months. The company will be releasing regular updates that address user feedback and improve performance.
