    They're just indicating that the program is open and minimized. I've no idea how to remove it but it's a feature I really like.

    I hate the lines. They are on my taskbar also.

    They were not there when I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1.
    Now that I have done a clean install the lines are irritatingly visible.

    Hoping for help on this like the first poster.

    All the best.

  6. The line is there to see if the program is open.

    To get rid of it close the program.

    They're especially useful if you have several apps pinned to the taskbar.

    Does not bother me any. There are other things to worry more about.

    I agree that the underline is jarring, but I'm guessing that's only because it's new and I'm not used to it. I do think it is necessary now that the shading of the entire background of the icon is not contrasting much with the rest of the taskbar. Without the underline it would be tricky to determine with a glance which apps are open.

  14. Yes, they were.
    Maybe you didn't have any programs open or your monitor settings obscured them.

    I'm easily annoyed at these Microsoft interferences, so I feel your pain, but this is one I actually like.

    They're there for a reason, it's pretty simple. Same as the box used to show around opened programs in previous versions of Windows.
