    Hide or Show Notification Area Icons on Taskbar in Windows 10


    Hello David,

    Yeah, I'm not sure why they do not always get removed from the "Show notifications from these apps" list either. There is a way to reset this list, but doing so breaks live tiles on Start which is not a good solution. *Sad

    Maybe modifying something in the registry? or some file?

    Anyway, do you think it will be fixed on a simple daily update or will I need to wait till the next build release and reinstall everything?

    There is a way to remove them, but it breaks live tiles of apps pinned to Start. This wouldn't be a good solution though. *Sad

    Anyone else notice that everytime for example battle.net app updates I have to do this tutorial all over again. It only takes 10 sec or so, but battle.net app and other app updates everyday so it gets annoying :/

    Hello Schanzation, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    You might also send an email to battle.net support informing them of this to see if they may be able to do something on their end to stop it from resetting like that.

    They are making a valid point.

    I do not use battle.net, but perhaps some application update is causing my issue as well? I can't think of an application I use that auto-updates that frequently, maybe TeamViewer... or something within Windows itself. I have been trying to monitor 'when' this breaks for me as well, I can't seem to pinpoint it. I usually just trudge through the list of apps I want listed...

  7. Who wrote this? First of all, "Taskbar" isn't shown when I select "Personalization", I had to search for it. Second, I can't get it to show the "Safely remove hardware and eject media" icon when I set it to be displayed. How do I get Windows 10 to display that icon?
