Windows 10: Windows 10 taskbar refresh from command line or BAT file.

So, I have a task that I run that restarts a program every time I log on, switch to a user, etc. I notice that it leaves the icon from the previous instance of the program in the Taskbar Notification area. When I click on the arrow, and mouse over the icon, it quickly disapears.

The problem is that I am running this task a lot and the icons build up, so I would like to include some code into my BAT file that runs after I restart the program and refreshes the icons in the Taskbar Notification area. How would I do this?

I realize this isn't a major problem, but, if I am generating one of these left over icons every time I log in, and I don't click on the notification area for a while, it can build up quite a bit.

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid

 

.bat file

A batch file (.bat extension) is basically a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter. When you open the file, your system runs every command stored in the file from top to bottom, once the final command has been executed, it closes
itself indicating it has finished its job. However, everything happens so fast you think it closes immediately and that's completely normal.

If you want the command-line interpreter window to remains open once the last command has been executed, I suggest you do the following:

- Right click on the .bat file and click on the 'edit' button.

- It will open a notepad displaying a series of commands.

- Create a new line by hitting enter after the final text and type in 'pause' without quotes.

- Save the file and run it. This time the window will remain open.
