Microsoft pushes Win11 24H2 June update: Taskbar scaling + PC migration tool unveiled

Recently, Microsoft pushed the optional update KB5060829 to Windows 11 24H2 users. After installation, the system version is upgraded to Build 26100.4484. The core highlights of this update are the dynamic scaling function of the taskbar icon and the new PC migration tool. After the user enables "Show a smaller taskbar" through Settings> Personalization> Taskbar, the application icons can always maintain a compact layout, alleviating the problem of tight taskbar space. In addition, for users in the European Economic Area, the system has added browser compliance settings. The default browser will automatically associate the file format and pin it to the taskbar, and provide an independent PDF default program setting entry.

It is worth noting that Microsoft is launching a cross-device file synchronization solution in stages. Users will see the welcome interface of the migration function in the Windows backup application, and in the future they can directly transfer the files and settings of the old computer wirelessly during the initialization phase of the new device. In terms of performance, the decompression speed of compression formats such as 7z/rar has increased by about 15%, especially for compressed packages containing a large number of small files. Accessibility has also been upgraded: the narrator has added a "screen mask" privacy mode to cover sensitive content, and the voice access function has added Chinese support and a custom vocabulary library.

This update also includes a number of experience optimizations: the quick settings menu reorganizes the auxiliary function classification, the taskbar window indicator is widened to enhance visual recognition, and more than ten system problems such as ALT+TAB switching freeze and window misalignment after sleep and wakeup are fixed. With the continuous push of the 3GB update package, Windows 11 24H2 has taken a key step in the field of productivity and cross-device collaboration.
