Microsoft’s Windows has always let users down while trying to quit an app or a window as it struggles to make itself work after crashing. It’s clear that the only way out is to open the Task Manager to end the task, or reboot the system entirely. Needless to say, the whole process takes a good chunk of your time and tests your patience.

However, the future seems bright for all those who have experienced this firsthand and don’t want to lose their winning streak. Microsoft is reportedly planning to add a force quit option to the taskbar in Windows 11, which will allow users to force quit a window with just one click — similar to how it is on macOS.

“We first saw this appear in some early test versions of Windows 11, and Microsoft has confirmed at its Build developers conference this week that it’s adding the feature soon,” The Verge said in a report.

It is said to be part of a range of new Windows 11 features, which include native support for RAR, Tar, 7-zip, and gz archive formats. These are essentially compressed archives that contain several files like a folder — like a zip file on Windows — but are compressed to take up less space on a disk making it easier to share numerous files simultaneously.

However, these cannot be opened currently without a third-party extractor as they are proprietary and require users to download certain software, like WinRAR, to access the archive's contents.

A new Windows Copilot AI assistant and a dedicated Dev Home for developers are also expected to be part of this update.

The Verge added that Microsoft also released a new Windows 11 test build on Wednesday that includes another taskbar improvement. “Never combine mode lets you see each app window on the taskbar individually with labels. It was missing at the launch of Windows 11, like many other taskbar features that have appeared with subsequent updates,” the report said.

All of these new features are likely to arrive in the coming months for all Windows 11 users.
