how to increase icons in taskbar in Windows 10?

I cannot find this option. When I right click on Taskbar, Properties does not show as an option.

 

date and time missing from taskbar

For some reason I can't see the date and time on the taskbar in Windows 10. I know the date is there because when I hover over where it should be it shows in the tooltip. I thought the font and background might be set to the same color but that doesn't
seem to be it. I'm not using the small icons on the taskbar. One suggestion I found says to right-click on the taskbar for properties but there isn't an empty spot to right-click on. I must be missing an easy solution but I can't find the correct setting.
Can someone help?

 

It's taskbar settings, click on that and then scroll down to notification area and then select "which icons appear on the taskbar".

Next would be to check the settings of your VPN software for icon location setting....to enable or disable it.

 

Or just open Settings, search for taskbar....

 

It hasn't appeared as 'Properties' since version 1511 when it would open the taskbar's settings in Control Panel. In 1607 these settings were removed from Control Panel and added to the Settings app. The right-click item was renamed 'Settings' to reflect this change. In 1703 the name changed again to 'Taskbar settings' but otherwise behaved as it did in 1607.

The setting you want is now in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Select which items appear on the taskbar.

 

Hi,thanks for all your replies,but what I am trying to do is get my vpn providers icon to stay in the icon tray as it should do connected or not,my vpn providers icon is not in settings, here are some screen shots,many thanks.

 

Your screenshot of the desktop doesn't include the notification area of your taskbar. I assume therefore that it's the larger icon that appears on the taskbar that you are concerned with, not the little ones that are in the notification area near the clock (which are what that settings page is for).

If so, when your VPN icon is visible on the taskbar, try right-clicking on it and pin it to the taskbar. See if that helps.

 

Hi,Bree yes it is the notification area near the clock, when vpn is working fine and connected to a server it is green when I disconnect it is red but stays in the icon notification area,the vpn icon in the taskbar is fine

 

Try these suggestions:

Find the app's icon > Right-click on it > choose "More" > click on "Pin to Taskbar". That should do it. *Wink

 

Hi Gordon7 thanks for nice graphic,but I am with Private Internet Access and the issue is not keeping icon in taskbar,it is that when I click on icon in taskbar a small notice appears next to icon tray and says disconnected then you connect to a server once connected it goes green means connected then I can download what ever I need,the issue is when I disconnect the small icon in ICON TRAY NOT TASKBAR, disappears where it should stay in the icon tray bottom right on desktop by the time and speaker buttons,hope that clears things up a bit.
thanks.
