Windows 10: Is there a way to make taskbar icons to open in a pop up when clicked?

Hi, just a thought, maybe it can be done...

Like Mac or Android, can I pin a folder to the taskbar and group apps into it, and when clicked make it to open in a pop up showing all apps inside it?

realtek speaker icon in the taskbar

Hi. hotshot-gunner

I'm Charles, an Independent Advisor trying to help.

This mode is simple and practical, just follow these steps to make it appear:

• Click on the Start menu, open the Control Panel and double-click on Sound and Audio Devices.

• In the window that opens, check the box Place a volume icon in the taskbar and click OK.

The sound icon will already appear in the taskbar. Another suggested method to activate the volume icon in the taskbar follows these steps:

1. Right, click on a blank space in the taskbar and from the pop-up menu select the Properties option.

2. In the Taskbar tab, in the Notification Area section, click on the Customize button.

3. In the new window, click on the link Activate or deactivate system icons that you find in the lower part of the window.

4. There, click on the menu adjacent to the Volume icon and make sure it is marked On. Click OK and then OK. Verify that the volume icon appears normally in the taskbar.

Best Regards,

Charles.
