    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

  3. Search on Taskbar covers up icons

    Hi,

    We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

    Please be informed that there is no way to shift the icons on the taskbar to right. It is per the system design. As you do not want to use the search icon, perform the below steps as a work around and check if it helps.


    • Right click on the empty area on the taskbar, click on
      Properties.

    • Click on Taskbar tab, check the box
      Use small taskbar buttons.

    • Select Always combine, hide labels from the
      Taskbar buttons: drop down menu.

    • Click on Apply button and click on
      OK button.
    This will help you to certain extent as the search bar will not cover the all icons on the taskbar.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    How Can I Remove or Hide the Network and Volume Icons on Taskbar?

    To remove or hide the network and volume icons from the taskbar in Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

    1. Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings" from the context menu.
    2. In the "Taskbar settings" window, scroll down to the "Notification area" section.
    3. Under the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" heading, you will see a list of icons that are currently displayed on the taskbar. To hide an icon, click on the toggle next to its name to turn it off.
    4. To remove an icon from the taskbar completely, click on the "Turn system icons on or off" link under the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" heading.
    5. In the "Turn system icons on or off" window, you will see a list of system icons. To remove an icon, click on the toggle next to its name to turn it off.
    6. When you are finished hiding or removing icons, click on the "Apply" button to save your changes. The network and volume icons should now be hidden or removed from the taskbar.
    Note that the steps above may vary depending on your version of Windows and the specific configuration of your computer. If you are unable to find the options described in these steps, you can try searching for "taskbar settings" in the Windows search bar or looking for the relevant settings in the Control Panel.
