  2. Taskbar with blank space

    It may be possible that the blank space on your notification area is connected with the OneDrive app. We can reset the app by following the steps below:

    • To open the Run dialog box, press and hold the Windows key and press
      R.
    • Type %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset and press
      Enter.
    • The OneDrive icon will disappear and reappear for a few minutes.
    • If the OneDrive icon doesn't appear on the notification area, open the
      Run
      dialog box again and type %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe and press
      Enter.

    Keep us posted with the result of the steps above.

  3. Taskbar with blank space

    Hi,

    There is a way for us to check the notifications enabled on your device. This will help us determine if there is a program causing the issue. To do this, please follow these steps:

    • Click Start, type taskbar settings and press
      Enter.
    • Under Notification area, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
    • Turn off all the notifications and try to turn it on again one by one so we can check which program has the empty icon.

    Let us know the result of the solution above.

  4. Blank/empty space in the taskbar

    Removed Windows Store from taskbar, but blank space remains after removal

    I wanted to remove the Windows Store icon from my Windows 10 taskbar, as I rarely need to visit the Store and I wanted to reclaim the space used by the Store icon on the taskbar.

    When I right-clicked on the Store icon and selected "Unpin" as the option, the icon image disappeared but there remains a blank space where the icon used to be. If I add another application to the taskbar, it appears to the right of the blank space.

    When I right-click on the blank space, the options shown are: "Store" (with the Store icon showing to the left), "Pin to taskbar" and "Close all windows". If I then click "Pin to taskbar", a new Windows Store icon appears in the taskbar to the left of the
    blank space, but the blank space remains.

    How do I get rid of the blank space? Is there a registry area where I can view all the entries used to populate the taskbar with added apps and where I might be able to isolate the entry for the blank space and delete it?
