Windows 10: Taskbar Settings Menu Icon Option Is White; How Do I Fix It?

I have Windows 10, and after a recent update just got computer, so not sure which update the Icon next to Taskbar Settings, which usually looks like a gear, has turned into a white square. I've updated Windows to the most recent version, I've run scannow, I've restarted...nothing fixes it. I know it is not a change made to the program deliberately because I have another computer with a fully-updated Windows 10, and the menu icon is normal on that. I've attached a screenshot showing the "white box" to this message. I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows 10 to fix it because I have a

Feature suggestion: Add "Options" screen + add icon for it

Suggestion:
The place for the options, namely the top left corner system menu, is a bit strange, most similar programs do not use it like that.
Most programs use a separate Options (or maybe Settings, whichever sounds best) screen.

So, I suggest for the menu items in the system menu to become like this:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Close
Check for Update...
Options
Read Asic Quality
Launch GPU-Z Instaler
About...
(or maybe Always on Top option can also stay)

Also, optionally I suggest adding a Gear or maybe Wrench icon next to the Camera icon in top right.
When that Gear or Wrench icon is clicked, for the Options/Settings screen to appear.
Where we have the Tooltips, Always on Top, Tooltip language and the other options.

What do you think? Thanks for any comments!

NOTE: Also, if the Size system menu item as well as the Restore menu item are not needed, they can both be removed. It is not trivial, but there is a way. *Smile

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

Changing the taskbar color to white in Windows 10

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

In Windows 10 there is no option for changing the color to white but you can change it to different colors. To change the color of the task bar I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• In the search box, type settings.
• Then select personalization.
• Click on color option on the left side.
• You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
• You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
