    dead-space between tray icons and toolbars


    i just noticed on all 3 of my workstations that there is a new section of "dead space" between my toolbars and tray icons.moving/reordering the tray icons doesn nothing...they just re-sort and stay to the right end.and the toolbars are immovable. i can turn on 1 or 2 or 3 or N number of toolbars, but that dead-space remains.this has happened on all 3 of my laptops running win10...and i believe it started after i applied KB4023057: Update for Windows 10 Update Service componentshere's the dead-space:and here's the most recent update that apparently caused this:

    Moving toolbars to next to System Tray with Windows 10

    I have two custom toolbars on the Taskbar. With Windows 8.1, they are located in the right corner area just to left of the System Tray icons "up arrow". When I upgraded to Windows 10, there is about a 2 inch space between the toolbars and the System Tray
    icons "up arrow". How can I move the toolbars right next to the System Tray icons "up arrow" and not waste that space on the Taskbar?

    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
