Microsoft Brings Agenda View Back to Windows 11 Taskbar Calendar, Preview Starts in December

The restoration reflects Microsoft's pledge to balance long‑requested productivity fixes with an AI‑native Windows vision.

Overview

  • The Taskbar calendar flyout will show upcoming events and meetings in a new agenda view that pulls from Outlook calendars.
  • Microsoft says users will be able to click a meeting to join or engage Copilot for quick summaries and preparation, with rollout beginning in December 2025.
  • Windows 11 previously limited the calendar flyout to a date view, restoring functionality that Windows 10 and rival platforms already offered.
  • Additional OS updates include AI-generated text in any text box and new Outlook capabilities that summarize inboxes.
  • A hardware‑accelerated BitLocker is slated for new Windows 11 PCs in 2026 to speed and strengthen disk encryption.
