    Unable to hide the small icons in my taskbar, the arrow thing ^ is also missing


    Hello, I was unable to hide the small icons in the right side of my taskbar near the battery indicator. Even if I turn off it in the taskbar settings it can't seem to fix it. The arrow thingy ^ has also disappeared. As you can see it the picture below, even if I turn it on or off nothing is happening.Hope you can help me with this. Thank you.

    :)

    Taskbar shows up and down arrow

    Hi Jerry,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand you are getting up and down arrow in the Taskbar. There might be multiple applications pinned to the Taskbar that is the reason you are getting the up and down arrow.

    If the applications are "Pinned" to the Taskbar, you can right click on those icons and select "Unpin from Taskbar". This will remove the icons from the Taskbar when they are closed. Refer screenshot below:

    You can open these applications from Start Menu when you need it.

    However, if you need all the shortcuts pinned to taskbar, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1: Unlock the Taskbar

    We can unlock the Taskbar and increase the size of the Taskbar. Follow the steps mentioned below and check if this helps:

    1. Right click on the Taskbar and uncheck the option
      Lock the taskbar.
    2. Now, place the mouse pointer at the edge of the
      Taskbar       and drag the mouse up.

    Method 2: Small taskbar buttons

    Alternatively, you can use small icons on the Taskbar so that the icons are properly accommodated in the Taskbar. Refer the steps mentioned below:

    1. Right click on Taskbar and select
      Taskbar settings.
    2. Toggle the switch towards right for Use small taskbar buttons.

    Regards,
