    "Safely remove hardware" icon not showing on taskbar

    Windows 10 Version 1607 on a Tower PC

    In Settings "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" I have set ON "Safely remove hardware and eject media" (*). The Taskbar is not locked. When I plug in a USB memory stick, the icon does NOT appear on the taskbar. If I click on the "Hidden icons" up-arrow,
    the icon is in the hidden icons box. What do I need to do to make the icon appear on the taskbar and not in the hidden icons box on this PC ?

    (*) Please note that on other Windows 10 PCs that I have checked, with this same setting, the icon does appear on the taskbar and not in the hidden icons box.

    Thx Eagle
    I went in rush through the tutorial in the link that you have pointed to
    I am looking to remove those icons from the task bar not hide them as they are hidden already (except network icon and audio) as per the snapshot below :

    My bad, you meant those specific ones...
    Couple of those run at startup (Windows Defender & OneDrive). I don't think you can just remove the tray icon, you have to stop them from running at startup ... Check Task Manager > Start Up > Right Click on each and disable
    Ccleaner - check it's options, I believe has an option to turn it's tray icon on/off
    Intel Graphics - check it's options, it has an option to turn it's tray icon on/off

    Hi @zillah
    For VLC you can check and untick from preferences as shown below:

    For Avast you can't do much since it must run at startup.
    The USB safely remove hardware icon you just need to unplug the USB device.
