Speed numbers not showing in taskbar after Windows 11 update

That's unfortunately going to be the case for each and every app with Windows 11, not just our NetWorx. Microsoft removed the extension functionality from the taskbar, so apps can no longer add their extensions to it.

Here is a quote from Windows 11 specifications:

Taskbar functionality is changed including:
People is no longer present on the Taskbar.
Some icons may no longer appear in the System Tray (systray) for upgraded devices including previous customizations.
Alignment to the bottom of the screen is the only location allowed.
Apps can no longer customize areas of the Taskbar.

Since Microsoft have crippled the taskbar, I am afraid apps can no longer customise its areas or install custom toolbars. We are working on a solution, but at this stage we cannot make any promises.

You could use a floating NetWorx graph sitting somewhere in a corner of the screen, or dock it above or below the desktop. In the latter case it will always be visible even with other windows maximised. If that's not suitable, you can stay on Windows 10 for the time being. There is a lot of outcry about this, and Microsoft might re-implement the old functionality at a later stage.

Indeed, we have tested this setup and it works. Looks like StartAllBack either enables the old taskbar buried somewhere in Windows 11, or provides its own implementation. Either way, it does a good job of improving usability. Thanks for sharing this tip!

We have just checked, and it looks like Windows does not allow "always on top" windows to overlap the taskbar. This is the case in any system between Windows 7 and Windows 11. I suppose this is a Microsoft's design decision that top level windows are shown beneath the taskbar.

If you really want the graph to be visible at all times, it can be docked above or below desktop via the Graph Position setting in the popup menu. This will reduce the work area, but it will always be visible:

The additional information shown in the graph can be turned on and off with the "Display usage summary on the graph" setting on the Graph tab in NetWorx Settings:

Good news for everyone who was missing the taskbar graph after updating to Windows 11: we have found a solution and included it in the latest version of NetWorx (7.0.3).

Thanks for reporting it. That was a small bug indeed. The minute ticks setting should have no effect on the taskbar graph as there is no space for them. We have just fixed this in the latest builds.
