    There is a strange icon that appeared many weeks ago on the TaskBar


    Hi There is a strange icon that appeared many weeks ago. Is this a Microsoft icon? How can I remove it as it doesn't appear on the Taskbar settings so I can remove it? Also, you cannot click on it or you cannot screenshot it from a PC as I had to make a mobile picture so I can show it to you. It is very strange. Can you help me, please?Her is a Picture:

    :)

    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.

    Hi SpareOne

    1

    So we may understand this in a context, please provide a screenshot of that icon you are seeing on your Taskbar

    2

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    On the processes tab, do you see any process listed with the same icon?

    If so, right click that and choose 'Open File Location'

    What is the reported location of that process?
