    Pinned Icons


    Why is it that every morning when I log on to Windows 10, I have to unpin the Explorer and Edge icons from my task bar? Every. Single. Day!


    Worst version of Windows I've EVER worked with.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar


    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.

    Pin PHONE 2 call icon and Weather icon on the screen.

    Hi, THERLOSMABAYA.

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

    To pin an app back to your Start screen, kindly follow these steps:

    • Go to your App list.
    • Look for the app.
    • Tap and hold the app, and tap "Pin to
      start"      .
    • Go back to your Start Screen, swipe at the bottom part and you will see there the icon of the apps that you just pinned.

    Regards.
