Windows 10: Random music playing from the taskbar. HOW DO I FIX IT?

When I open the search bar or click on the time or anything on my taskbar some random music will start playing and it really annoys me. How do I stop this music?

How to play random songs on WP 8.1

Playing random music was easy on WP 8.0. Just hit the Music tile then hit the play arrow. The entire music library then played in a random fashion.

In 8.1 that play arrow is no longer there. Looking around it appears that the "play everything random" feature has been removed. It looks like I can laboriously create custom play lists and I could probably add every song to the list then remember when
I download new music to put them into the playlist but that would be a lot of work.

So, I hope I am missing something. How can I quickly play all my music randomly?

Thanks,

Dean

As you said Taskbar is not working, and you will minimize all the opened apps to access the one you wish to from Taskbar. Be clear with how exactly you are trying to accessing the apps from Taskbar.

Step 1: I suggest you to check if you have enabled the Auto-hide option for Taskbar, if so try to disable and check if it helps.

Steps to enable auto-hide Taskbar:

• Right click in the empty space on the Taskbar, click on
  Properties,
• Under Taskbar tab, uncheck the Auto-hide the Taskbar option, click on
  Apply and Ok.
