  1. Close buttons (X) in Task View disappeared


    Hello,



    I’ve been using my new Surface Pro 6 for a couple of days now. Yesterday, I noticed that in Task View, the programs/apps running no longer have the option to close it with the X button on the right top of each. I have reset the machine twice already, but the Xs still don't show.



    Anyone able to help?



    Thanks!

    :)

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

    Step1: End Task the Windows Explorer.

    • End task (Note: don’t close Task manager)
    • Click on File > Run new task
    • Type explorer.exe and press enter
    • Your search bar should be functional again.


    Step 2: If Taskbar is not working then I suggest you to check for the latest updates.


    • Press Windows logo key +R, enter
      MS-settings:
      and then press OK. This opens Settings.

    • In Settings, go to Update & security >

    Task View and Icon next to it disappears


    I have Show Task View Button enabled. I pinned a File Explorer and a Google Chrome icon to the taskbar. In the taskbar reading left to right is the Task View Button then next to that is the File Explorer icon then the Chrome icon next to that.

    It seems at random the Task View Button will disappear and with it whatever icon that is directly adjacent to it.. in this case, my File Explorer icon. I have to hide then reshow the Task View Button in order for my icons to show up properly.

    - I'd like to be able to see the icons on the task bar all the time without the Task Bar button being shown at all but Windows won't allow me to do that. If the Task View Button is Not shown, sometimes ( I don't know why) Only the Chrome icon shows and still not the file Explorer icon ( but this only sometimes... seems like that space next to the Task View Button is linked it the Task View Button in strange ways. If I have to re-enable or hide the Task View Button sometimes both icons stay for a while and sometimes not.

    I also cannot seem to move my taskbar icons to the right side of the taskbar away from the Task View Button ( i wanna put them next to the notifications icon. . How do i do that?

    Close buttons (X) in Task View disappeared

    Closing some apps from the task view closes the task view itself

    For example, if you open the Task View and you close Edge, the Task View will be closed. If you do the same but close Explorer (the files browser), the Task View stays open. It seems to happen with all Modern apps. With touch screen and with mouse.
