    Remove dead items from the 'select which icons appear on the taskbar'


    Hi,

    I've uninstalled a few programs to replace them with others, however despite being removed the icons still appear in the 'select which icons appear on the taskbar' menu.

    Is there a way to remove them from this listing ?

    :)

    Safely Remove Hardware icon missing

    Hi
    In the last few days the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon has gone missing from my Taskbar. Also, if I right-click on the USB stick or USB hard drive in 'This Computer' the Eject option is missing.
    In PC Settings/Personalisation/Taskbar/Notification area/Select which icons appear on the taskbar I have 'Always show all icons in the notification area' switched on & all items in the list are in the 'on' state including 'Windows Explorer (Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media).
    Any suggestions?

    Windows 10: "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" Question

    Good Evening:

    When accessing "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" via
    Settings>Personalization>Taskbar>Select which icons appear on the taskbar
    link    , I noticed that there are icons listed for software that has been
    uninstalled from my computer. Is there a way to remove (or clean up) those icons, as they serve no purpose, as the software no longer resides on my computer.

    I have Windows 10 ver. 1803 installed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    John
