Windows 10: Can't remove Windows Update symbol in taskbar

I am currently facing a problem which is giving me headaches. After a random amount of time the Windows Update Symbol pops up in the System Tray. The message of that Icon is saying "Your device is at risk because it's out of date and missing important security and quality updates." However I don't want that Icon to show in the System Tray at all, so the actual user of the image is not tempted to press the Update Button. Updating the System is not an option for me sadly.

I have tried to search the GroupPolicy and the Registry for an entry, which let's me remove that icon. However I was not able to find any solution yet. I hope anyone here has an idea and is able to help me out?


The Windows Version I am running in is:

Windows 10 Pro

Version 1803

Build 17134.165


I've added a screenshot of that icon in here




Thanks in advance!

Taskbar Scroll Bar Removal

Hi Nick,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Follow the below mentioned steps and check if it helps.

• Right-click on an empty area of the Windows taskbar. Click to clear the checkmark from the "Lock the Taskbar" option if needed.
• Then right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then select "Properties."
• Click to place a check in the "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" box. Click "Apply" followed by "OK" to confirm the changes. This option combines multiple instances of the same application into a single taskbar button. If this does not remove the scroll arrows,
  continue to the next step.
• Hover your mouse cursor over the border between the Windows taskbar and the desktop until a double-arrow icon replaces the standard pointer.
• Click the taskbar border and drag it upward to double the height of the taskbar. Any icons on the second row will be displayed, and the scroll arrows will vanish.

Keep us posted for any concerns with windows, we're glad to assist you.
