How do I disable unused system icons on the taskbar in Windows 10? This is the question asked by a huge number of users who at some point begin to notice that a fairly large workspace that resides on their computer - in the taskbar area, just cluttered with different icons, which they do not need. Gradually, such icons become more and more and as a result, in the end result, work is not at all convenient. But there is a way out in this situation, you just need to set everything up correctly so that the system does not interfere with your trivialities and you could use it as it is convenient for you, and not as it was supposed by one of the software developers.
Let's start with the fact that we will get rid of the icons of system applications that are located by default and this is done by clicking on the PCM icon for a specific icon and selecting the "Unpin from the taskbar" option in the context menu that opens.
If, however, simple detachment is not enough for you, and it is necessary to hide the icon, in that case, you must go to the context menu of the taskbar and there, go through the "Search" and click on the item "Hidden".
To hide the buttons that are relevant to the task view, in the same context menu, you will have to remove the checkmark that is located near:
- "Show the task view button".
- "Show the People panel".
- "Show the Windows Ink Workspace button".
- "Show the touch keyboard button".
If you are disturbed by the application icons: OneDrive, Security Center, etc., in order to hide them, simply move them to the so-called "additional notification area", which is masked by a small icon-button "∧".
There is also an option to disable the display of application icons in the main work area of the taskbar notification and it is done in the following way: go to the "Options" panel, go to "Personalization Taskbar", open "Select the icons displayed in the taskbar".
This method is good in that even applications that are currently not active are turned off with it.
If you decide to disable unused system icons on the taskbar in Windows 10, which are located in the system tray (we are talking about: "Volume", "Clock", "Network connection", etc.), then in In this case, do the following: open the "Options" pane, then "Personalize the Taskbar" and click on "Enable and Disable System Icons" in the toga.
As a result, you can independently configure the operating system and its task pane, which is quite practical, if you do not use all the above and disabled icons, but work with something more individual and do not tolerate unnecessary icons in the workspace.
