Microsoft heard the feedback and has been planning to fix this, but today’s update is about addressing a different set of issues. The redesigned version of the taskbar in Windows 11 received a lot of complaints from users who didn’t appreciate that the bar was now locked to the bottom of the screen and didn’t allow users to add their own shortcuts.
Taskbar improvements are also rolling out today. The idea is that the apps will run in a way that makes them feel like a part of Windows, as they’ll integrate with Windows input and windowing experiences, like Snap layouts. To get started, users will need to open, then update, their Microsoft Store (click Get updates in Microsoft Store > Library.) You can then search for your favorite apps and games and download them through the Amazon Appstore. will be able to access the Amazon Appstore Preview and download over 1,000 more apps and games in partnership with Amazon, including top apps like Audible, Subway Surfers, Lords Mobile, Khan Academy Kids and others. But the full integrated experience wasn’t yet live. The expanded access to the Amazon Appstore Preview began rolling out earlier this morning, as engineering prep work was needed to stage the experience. Both AMD and Intel devices are supported, however, given they meet hardware requirements for running Windows 11.
The experience is built on the Android platform via the new Windows Subsystem for Android, powered by Intel’s Bridge Technology. Originally, Android app beta testers were able to try out apps like Amazon’s Kindle app, The Washington Post, Clash of Kings, Coin Master and Lego Duplo World, among others. Today, the company is opening access to a broader audience with the arrival of the Amazon Appstore Preview in the Microsoft Store, which will now offer more than 1,000 apps and games.Īlongside this launch, Microsoft is also rolling out select Windows Taskbar improvements and redesigned Media Player and Notepad apps. However, the feature was only available to beta testers participating in the Windows 11 Insider Program, and was limited to around 50 apps. Last October, Microsoft began testing Android apps on Windows 11 PCs in partnership with Amazon and its app store.
