  1. Cannot remove icon label drop shadows. Win 10 keeps putting back on!


    The culprit seems to be the Task View. I just found a simple workaround in the Microsoft community: After disabling the shadows, go to Settings > System > Multitasking and disable "When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it". This obviously prevents the Task View functionality from being used when a window is snapped to an edge. I also removed the Task View icon from the task bar to prevent the function from being used at all. Now the shadows no longer return when I snap a window.
