Windows 11 taskbar not acting like Windows 10 taskbar (pinned files using LibreOffice .ots/.ott files)
Introduction
In this article, we will discuss the issue of Windows 11 taskbar not behaving like its Windows 10 counterpart, specifically with pinned files. We will use LibreOffice .ots/.ott files in this process.
Context
When using Windows 11, some users have reported that the taskbar does not function in the same way as it does in Windows 10, particularly with pinned files. This can lead to frustration and inefficiency in workflow. However, we can resolve this issue by utilizing LibreOffice .ots/.ott files.
Procedure
- Open the LibreOffice application on your Windows 11 computer.
- Create or open a document that contains the files you want to pin to the taskbar.
- Save the document as an .ots/.ott file.
- Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar.
- Select "Taskbar settings" from the context menu.
- Scroll down to the "Pinned" section.
- Click on "Add a new item" and select "Choose another app" from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the location where you saved the .ots/.ott file and select it.
- The selected file will now be pinned to the taskbar and can be accessed easily.
