    Why does Windows 10 put Windows Ink icon in system tray without asking?


    I run a desktop computer without a touch screen, so as far as I know, I could not even use Windows Ink Workspace if I wanted to! So why does Windows 10 put the Windows Ink Workspace icon in the system tray, without my permission AND make it incredibly difficult to get rid of? I did a google search and it seems the only way to get rid of it if you have Windows 10 Home edition is to open the Registry, find WindowsInkWorkspace and change the 'value data' :-/ How to disable Windows Ink Workspace on Windows 10 Windows Central

    Can I have a tray icon for automatic maintenance windows 10

    As the title says.

    On windows 8.1 I have a small flag in the tray with a little clock to let me see that it's working, if so I usually let it do it's thing for 20 minutes or so till it's finished for that day.

    Is it possible do get a tray icon in windows 10 to see if it's busy with maintenance?
