Windows 10: How to remove “Microsoft Store” and “Mail” icons from windows 10 task bar via GPO ?

How to remove “Microsoft Store” and “Mail” icons from windows 10 task bar via GPO ?

What happened to my mail icon on the task bar?

Hi,

So this command successfully removed mail app. I rebooted and was able to download the mail app from the store, but problem remains. Pinning the mail app to my task bar results in an invisible icon.

I noticed when this problem first started (with Creator update), that the icon for mail was now missing from the icon folder in System32 files. Instead, the mail folder is associated with a blank page in my apps list. I tried changing the icon image to
another image, but it is still invisible on the task bar.

Task Bar Icons Windows 10

Hi John,

Thank you for your response.

We sincerely regret for the inconvenience caused.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

If the icon is hidden from the task bar, you can enable it by using the following steps. The icon might be hidden. Here's how to show the battery icon:

• Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click
  Properties.
• Under Notification area, click
  Customize.
• In Notification Area Icons, click on Select
  which icons appear on Taskbar.
• On in the drop-down list next to
  Power, and then click OK.

If the issue still persists you can try Updating the latest Power management driver software for Windows 10 from the manufacturer website.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

 

What happened to my mail icon on the task bar?

So, I reinstalled Windows 10 and mail icon was
still invisible although it now appeared correctly in the Apps list. I also have it pinned to the Start Menu, and the mail icon was still incorrect there (showing a blank page as the icon).

I unpinned the mail from the task bar, deleted it from the start menu and re-pinned it to the task bar and SUCCESS. Mail icon is visible and shows the correct image.

I still don't see the envelope icon in the system icons folder. Shouldn't it be there?

Thank you for your help.
