  1. Parameters not working on items pinned to taskbar


    I have several parameters I use on my google chrome shortcut to fix the DPI shown below.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1.05

    When I apply these parameters to my google chrome taskbar shortcut, the parameters are ignored. It only works if I start chrome from double clicking on the shortcut in the ...\User Pinned\TaskBar directory itself.

    I've applied the parameters to the chrome shortcut in this location - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    I've done a log off\restart after doing this with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

    Thanks for your reply.

    Just in case this was a result of a poor description of the problem by me, I will explain in detail.

    I have Excel permanently pinned to the taskbar. When I right click the Excel tile, the context menu shows a list of Pinned items at the top and Recent items below that. I believe these are called jump lists.

    When I hover over an item on the Pinned list a push pin (), overlaid with a no entry sign (), is displayed to the right of the item.

    I can click on the pin to unpin it from the pinned list.

    Under Windows 7, I was able to left click on an item in the pinned list and drag it up or down to a different position in the list. This drag and drop functionality has never worked for me under Windows 10. As I noted in my original post,
    the only way to resequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

    Do you know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

  3. Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

    In Windows 7 you could drag a pinned item on a taskbar tile to move it up and down the list of pinned items.

    This drag/drop functionality is not available in Windows 10 - I read somewhere that the only way to resquequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

    This is a pain.

    Does anyone know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

    Thanks

  4. Parameters not working on items pinned to taskbar

    Pinned items on taskbar suddenly not visible

    Hello Anoop,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Regret the inconvenience you have experienced.

    Did you made any changes to your PC?

    Did see any Windows Updates installed recently?

    Did you check the issue by restarting your PC?

    Usually the issue will be fixed by restarting your PC, post complete shutdown. If it doesn't try to remove the
    pinned app from the taskbar and Pin them back to the taskbar to see if they help.
    To remove a pinned app from the taskbar, open the app's Jump List (I.e. Right-click on it), and then tap or click Unpin this program from taskbar.

    To pin apps to the taskbar:


    • Press or click Windows Key, right-click the desired app from the Start Menu, and then tap or click
      Pin to taskbar (you can also do this in the Apps view).
    - Or –


    • If the app is already open on the desktop, press and hold or right-click the app's taskbar button, and then tap or click
      Pin this program to taskbar.

    If the problem still persist, please get back with the error screenshot along with the above information, to guide you accordingly.
