Windows 10: Does anybody know how to get this unauthorized app off my task bar?

The following showed up on my task bar a couple of weeks ago. I tried to click on it and there is no option to unpin it. When I opened it, there is no option to disable it. I cannot even identify what the process is so I can kill the process with Task Manager and hopefully uninstall this unauthorized application from my computer.
