    W10 Settings/Taskbar problem?


    Windows 10 latest version 20h2 I9042.928, 16 gig ram, 8 core processor, dual monitors.

    In Settings/Taskbar/select which icons appear in the taskbar, there are about 15 entries that are either duplicates or no longer installed on the system?
    My question is: Is there a way to remove these useless items from this display as they are irritating me quite a bit!

    How did you uninstall these programs- were they programs you downloaded from the internet - exe/dll? Or UWP apps from the Store?
