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.
