Windows 10: Remove Taskview button and more from Taskbar right click menu

In TH2 it was possible to remove that button with a reg entry which stopped working in RS1 but it's possible to do by modifying a file and below is how it can be done and can also remove "Show Windows Ink Workspace" and "Show touch keyboard button". Make sure to take a system image or create a restore point before proceeding

Copy explorer.exe.mui from C:\Windows\en-US
Open with ResHacker and expand the Menu tree. In item # 205 remove
MENUITEM "Show Task &View button", 430, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Show Windows Ink &Workspace button", 437, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Show touch ke&yboard button", 436, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
Then recompile the file
Move to item # 206 and remove
MENUITEM "Show Windows Ink &Workspace button", 437, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Show &touch keyboard button", 436, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
and recompile again then save the file somewhere safe
Go back to C:\Windows\en-US\explorer.exe.mui take ownership of explorer.exe.mui and rename it to explorer.exe.mui.old paste the modded file and restart the computer. So far no adverse effects at all

Also realized one can remove other unused entries such as Search if you happen to use some other software for that function but choose your own path

Taskbar problem in Windows 10

It has been a few months that I have upgraded to Windows 10 Home Version 1511 ,everything was working fine.But from yesterday onwards the taskbar is not working correctly,

First off all when was I clicking the start button the menu does not
pop up but right clicking shows the context menus.

Same thing happens when I click on Cortana,Battery,Action Center, Network & Volume.

The apps pined to the taskbar launches normally and only taskview button works correctly.

Although I restarted the computer a few times and even Restarted the Explorer.exe few times but nothing solves the issue and there are no error codes shown in screen.

 

Windows 10 not responding after auto update - managed to get CMD, what now?

Hi

firstly sorry for all the steps here but I thought they might help someone question is at bottom.

My laptop did the most recent auto update last night its left me unable to click on anything except taskview, wiped my taskbar (I think that what it's called -along bottom) managed to shut it down with ctrl + alt + del twice.

So I used taskview to add a second desktop, this made it possible to right click on stuff in desktop 1 but still not open anything. Right clicked on taskbar, got task manager open (left click works in menus). Used file menu and ran new task. Typed CMD

and here I am sitting thinking is there a command that will rollback the update or fix my desktop issues?
