Microsoft has finally re-added a link to the Task Manager to the taskbar's contextual menu in the latest Windows 11 Insider preview build.

This feature has been a popular entry on the list of user requests since Windows 11 was released almost one year ago, on October 4, 2021.

Redmond also confirmed it made the change based on customer feedback and that it's enabled starting with Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25211 released to the Dev Channel today.

"Based on your feedback, we've added a link to Task Manager when right-clicking on the taskbar," Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.

Support for rearranging System Tray icons is also rolling out to Insiders who have the System Tray updates from Build 25197.

"If your PC does not have these changes, your System Tray experience will remain the same as before," they added.

If you right click on the windows 11 icon in the taskbar (start menu button) you will get a menu with task manager being among the options. Also applies to windows 10.
