This tutorial will show you how to add and remove apps on the pen menu on the taskbar system tray for your account in Windows 11.

The pen menu in Windows 11 makes it easy for you to access your favorite apps.

If you have a pen, tap it on your screen. The pen menu will appear in the corner of your taskbar.

You can add up to four apps as shortcuts to your pen menu.

Reference:

Starting with Windows 11 build 22593, the Microsoft Journal app is now pinned by default on the Pen menu.
