    Large (ish) Black Downward Arrow over System Tray??


    Hi everybody
    I have a Surface 3, and my daughter (18 months) recently got ahold of it, and now there is a large (to me) black arrow over the sys tray...screenshot below. Its not linked to an application, as I've hidden some and it stays in the same place on the screen. Any ideas as to what it is and how I get rid of it? Searching here and google hasn't helped.

    Thanks in advance.

    ~Jeff

    How do you safely remove a USB drive in Windows 10 ?

    Finally found the Hidden Icons. On my Windows 10 it is a downward facing arrow in the upper right

    hand of the screen on the same line as time and date. When I hover over the downward facing arrow it

    says "show hidden icons". When I see the hidden icons I clicked on the one that looks like a walkie talkie.

    Click on that and it says "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media". Then click on "Eject Flash Disk E"

    Windows 10 start menu dropdown

    Every so often, I loose the expand menu in the Start Menu. There is a downward arrow that expands the title program such as Microsoft Office. When you click the downward arrow, it gives you choices of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

    it does not function now. When I click the downward arrow, it closed the start menu.

    How do I fix this issue?

    A cold start may clear it. Use 'Restart' to make sure Windows does the full startup process. 'Shut down' and turning back on may not be sufficient as you are likely set to use 'Fast start-up'.

    PS: my grandson once managed to disable the keyboard on my laptop (kids eh?).
