Overview

  • Build 26200.5722 in the Dev Channel activates clickable taskbar controls on secondary monitors, enabling direct access to the Notification Center and calendar flyout.
  • Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel have also received the update, with a wider public release slated for the annual 25H2 update.
  • The update restores a Windows 10 capability that Windows 11 initially removed, freeing users from returning to the primary display to view alerts.
  • Microsoft says the change directly addresses feedback about missing multi-monitor taskbar functionality from Windows Insider participants.
  • The company is packaging this correction alongside other quality-of-life enhancements as support for Windows 10 nears its end.
