    German keyboard appearing in Taskbar

    Hi,



    Thank you for replying.



    I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if you are able to remove the language pack:



    1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
      Taskbar.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
      Run as administrator.
    3. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
      lpksetup /u de-DE.
    4. Restart the computer.


    Let us know the results.

    Regards,

  3. Mail & Edge won't appear along taskbar & no icons are appearing for either.

    Hi Ramon

    I have run the SFC and a clean boot as you suggest but the problem persists.

    Another little example of the problem is I opened the Calculator app for use recently, and upon minimising it the icon did not appear on the taskbar below and so Calculator became no longer retrievable from that point.

    I have now managed to pin the Mail app to the taskbar, but this was only achieved by finding an old email and opening it through Mail which was set as the default program. Mail still does not appear in the programs list.

    Any further suggestions?

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
