Windows 10: HELP-- Stop Taskbar Popping up.

Hey Everyone

I have a question for some help on something that is annoying me for a very long time.
When i have a program open like Teamspeak or Discord and someone types something on chat
you get a notification update and your taskbar pops up highlighting the icon with the update.

I would really really like to know how i can disable programs from popping up my taskbar.
I dont mind having a sound notifications but i really get hate my taskbar popping up all the time.
I game a lot and in the games i play i have my chats in the bottum and always when i try to click on the chat suddenly my taskbar pops up and i have to open the program first then minimize it again in order to hide the taskbar,
But before i am then ready to start typing in chat again the darn taskbar pops up again.
Even getting worse if i am on a busy teamspeak server and my taskbar keeps popping up every 2 seconds.

Is there a way to disable this feature completely ??
So no programs opened and minimized will be able to pop up the taskbar at all. ??

* I have tried to go into notification settings and turn off the notifications for all programs.. But this does not work.

I very much appreciate the help *Biggrin

CORTANA "TASKBAR TIDBITS" NO LONGER WORKS.

Cortana "taskbar Tidbits" function stopped working after Anniversary Upgrade.

Cortana no longer pops up with greetings, reminders... nothing.

All updates are applied.

The App troubleshooter shows nothing is wrong.

Help, please.

 

Stopping minimized task bar programs from popping up

How do I stop minimized programs that are on my taskbar from popping up while I am working on another program?

 

@GizmoTGP, welcome to tenforums.com! *Smile

You could try: Settings/Personalization/Taskbar/'Show badges on taskbar buttons'-Off,

not sure if it keeps the taskbar from popping up, but it's worth a try.

 

Hey buddy.. yea this will activate the taskbar still.. As for as i know there is no conventional methods to completely shut this down.. But i bet there is a way to change this some were in the windows files itself on the C Drive. I just don't know who and i cant find any info on the web.

Ill just keep searching cause i really wanna have this bar be gone for once haha.
If someone might know please inform me i would really love to know.

And thanks for the welcome buddy.. Much Appreciated *Biggrin

 

Only other thing I can suggest is turning off notifications on certain programs, or,
if you want to get drastic, you could Ctrl+Shift+Right Click on the Taskbar and 'Exit Explorer', as long as the games/apps will continue running with Explorer shut down!

 

True i could do that but then i wouldnt be able to navigate through the pc anymore other then the stuff i have open at that right moment and i would need a restart of the pc to enable it again [ if Task Manager fails to open ].
I have game server running on my pc so it not an option for me to try out, i don't think those gamers would like me to restart the servers constantly *Wink

But it could be a quick solution.. But ill keep searching for a permanent one *Biggrin
Thanks for the advice
