Windows 10: Task View - Cursor freeze - Defender Icon

Running 10 Pro - ver 1809 - Build 17763.475


1. How do I remove, delete, uninstall Task View? Not just the button, I don't want to use it at all, I don't want it on the computer.


2. Cursor freezes for a second or two every now and again. I'm not using a mouse, just the pad. How do I resolve that?


3. The Defender icon is missing from the taskbar. How do I get it back, there dosen't seem to be an option?


Thanks.

Intermittent Freezing linked to Cursor movement


That sounds like a more deep seated issue, perhaps something you have installed is intermittently running and using all available resources.

It may be worth you opening Task Manager (Press Ctrl > Shift >Esc together) and see if anything unusual appears. This shows task manager, the spike was when I opened it, all is quiet afterwards. If you have lots of CPU or Disk activity then click the appropriate item and see what is using all the resources. You can also view the 'Processes' tab in Task Manager which will list what is using what.

 

Reduction of application icon in Task View

Hi Anton Borzenko,

As of the time of this writing, there's no method in the settings that will allow for a change in sizing of the icons on the Task View. Therefore, I suggest that you send this via Feedback Hub. In the Feedback Hub, you can submit a new issue, so that our
developers could have a look at this and maybe add a feature that will allow the resizing of icons on the Task View in the future updates.

To submit a new feedback, please follow these steps:

1. On your PC, search for Feedback Hub in Cortana search, then launch the app.
2. In the left menu, navigate to Feedback > Add a new feedback.
3. Select the Problem, share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.
4. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form. Click
   Stop monitoring when you're done.
5. Click Submit once you've completed the form and monitoring.
6. Click Continue using Feedback Hub.
7. Click My feedback at the top, then find the item that you submitted.
8. Open it, then click Share.
9. Click Copy link, then paste the link here in your response (it will look like
   Storefronts Tools<unique link>).

Feel free to let us know if you need further information.
