Firstly, the 'date and time' section of the taskbar will be returning to secondary monitors, which until now has required a third-party application. Additionally, Microsoft will be releasing more customization options for the [Windows 11 start menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winpal), which allowers for user personalization based on the features they use the most. Lastly, Windows 11 will debut improvements to the 'settings' and 'printers & scanners' sections that target the user interface, specifically making it more intuitive to consumers.
