Windows 10: Strange new icon on Task Bar after installing latest Win Update KB5003637 June 8, 2021

Hi there,I wouldn't have been much bothered, but I can't get rid of this new icon that appeared on my Task Bar once I rebooted my computer after installing the new update. When I click on it, it says in Russian in my loose translation "there have been some problems while loading a web-channel, you may have been disconnected from the network or there may have been an error on our side". I suppose the message itself may be due to the fact that I am using a couple of Windows tweakers that block a bunch of MS IPs to disable telemetry gathering my Windows Home ain't pirate, it's fully legal btw.

Win 7 Task Bar Windows Icon

I have two Pcs, one Win 7 and one Win 8. The Win 8 had the Icon in the task bar and I reserved

a copy of Win 10 but the Win 7 pc does not have the icon in the task bar. Win 8 pc has KB3035583

but Win 7 does not. I have tried all of the downloads suggested in these forums and still cannot

get it. Its is my understanding you have to have KB3035583 in order to reserve Win 10 so how do

I get it on my Win 7 pc? I have tried the Update installer several times but get error 0x8008005.

Any help, please.



Thanks
