    Will Windows 11 reestablish the "Show Desktop Icons" in the taskbar option? The feature is available in Windows 10 but not 11. To be clear, it is the function where all your Desktop Program Icons, File Icons and any other Icons that appear on your Desktop can be seen in the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen the whole time. This gives you easy one click access to all your favorite programs and files all the time. Great feature and I don't know why you got rid of it!

    :)

  2. Hidden taskbar icons and taskbar icons options in CREATORS UPDATE

    Hi Davor,

    Taskbar shows us see the programs that we're currently using as well as those that we pinned. It helps us to easily navigate from one program to another. We can update the settings of your taskbar to show it on your desktop. Here's how:

    • Press the Windows icon on your keyboard.
    • Click on Settings (gear icon).
    • Select Personalization then go to Taskbar.
    • Check Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode and
      Automatically hide the taskbar in
      tablet mode options. Make sure to turn them off.

    Let us know if the steps above resolved your concern.

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Will Windows 11 reestablish the "Show Desktop Icons" in the taskbar option?

    Feature suggestion: Add Windows 7 Taskbar icon GPU freq./temperature/RAM used meter

    Please add an option (which will also require an Options/Settings screen however, or else the main menu will be too cluttered) to have the GPU freq., temperature, videoRAM used and/or maybe GPU load shown in the program taskbar icon on Windows 7.
    It could have two options - cycle between modes (for example about each 10 seconds), or always show the same value - for example, GPU temp or load/etc.
    See how Core Temp does this for an example. (WinZIP also shows such a meter when decompressing archives.)

    What do you think, could this be useful?
