A new public API from Microsoft will display a prompt asking you to grant programmes permission before they appear on those interface components, giving users more choice over which apps are pinned to their desktop, start menu, and taskbar. Prior to being included in the general release of Windows 11, these capabilities will initially be made available to PCs signed up for the Windows Insider Dev Channel in the upcoming months. In a noteworthy statement, Microsoft pledges to “lead by example” and offer updates for Edge that will enable the browser to integrate those capabilities when they become available.
