Microsoft is currently actively testing new features for the Windows 11 taskbar, one of which, called "Taskbar Companion" (Taskbar Companion), has attracted widespread attention. This feature aims to allow users to interact more conveniently with agents and assistants. Several weeks ago, information about this experimental feature began to emerge, and recent new clues have been revealed, sparking user curiosity.
In the new feature, in addition to the "Taskbar Companion," there is also an option called "Composer," which can be integrated with assistants and agents. The development code for this new module seems to be related to Taskbar.view.dll, which makes us look forward to its specific functions.
Although the exact purpose of the "Taskbar Companion" is not yet fully clear, it is speculated that it will bring a smoother user experience to the Windows 11 taskbar. It is expected that this feature can help users quickly find the desired applications among many icons, and even automatically complete certain operations without user input.
Additionally, the Taskbar Companion may proactively recommend suitable applications based on the user's usage habits. It may also have the ability to manage taskbar settings, helping users improve their work efficiency and provide a more convenient user experience. Another possibility is that it will act as an information assistant, quickly answering user questions and providing the required information.
