How to customize the taskbar in windows 10.

The Windows 10 taskbar works much like previous Windows versions, offering shortcuts and icons for every running app.

Quick Links

Pin apps to the taskbar, pin a file or folder to taskbar jump lists, configure or remove the search box, remove the task view button, hide system icons in the notification area, hide application icons in the notification area, move the taskbar to a different edge of the screen, change the size of the taskbar, use small icons to fit more on the taskbar, show labels for taskbar icons, change the color and transparency of the taskbar, enable the peek feature, add a toolbar to the taskbar, configure the taskbar for multiple displays, key takeaways.

  • Customize the taskbar by pinning apps and shortcuts for easy access. Right-click an app's icon to pin it or drag the app icon to the taskbar.
  • Utilize jump lists for quick access to folders and files on the taskbar. Right-click an icon to view the jump list and pin items to it.
  • Personalize the taskbar by removing the search box, hiding system icons, moving the taskbar, changing its size, and adjusting its color and transparency in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar.

The Windows 10 taskbar works much like previous Windows versions, offering shortcuts and icons for every running app. Windows 10 offers all kinds of ways to customize the taskbar to your liking, and we're here to guide you through what you can do.

We've taken a look at customizing the Start menu and the Action Center in Windows 10. Now, it's time to tackle the taskbar. With just a little bit of work, you can tweak the taskbar to get it running just how you like it.

The simplest way to customize your taskbar is by pinning various apps and shortcuts to it so that you can access them more quickly in the future. There are two ways to do this. The first is to open the program, either from the Start menu or an existing shortcut. When the app's icon appears on the taskbar to indicate it's running, right-click the icon and select the "Pin to taskbar" option from the context menu.

Right-click the icon of an open app and select

The second way to pin an app to the taskbar does not require the app to be running first. Find the app on the Start menu, right-click the app, point to "More," and then choose the "Pin to taskbar" option you find there. You could also drag the app icon to the taskbar if you prefer doing it that way.

Right-click an app, go to

This will immediately add a new shortcut for the app to the taskbar. To remove an app from the taskbar, right-click the pinned app and choose the "Unpin from taskbar" option.

Right-click a pinned icon, then select

Windows also provides an easy way to get access to folders — and individual files — on your taskbar. Jump lists are handy context menus associated with each pinned app that show certain actions you can perform with the app and, for apps where it's applicable, also show a list of recent files and folders you've accessed. You can view an app's jump list by right-clicking an icon.

For example, the jump list for the File Explorer icon lets you open a new File Explorer window and shows recent folders you've viewed and folders you've pinned. Just point your mouse at a recent item to reveal a pushpin icon to its right. Click the pushpin to pin the item to the jump list.

Click the pin next to a folder.

By the way, if you want to view the conventional context menu for an icon on the taskbar, hold the Shift key while right-clicking the icon. This is particularly useful for configuring any folder shortcuts you've pinned there. And this is just one of the many useful keyboard shortcuts you can use with the taskbar.

When you've pinned items to a jump list, those items appear separately from recent items. All you have to do is click one of them to open that folder. And of course, exactly what you see on a jump list depends on the app. Apps like Notepad or Microsoft Word show recently opened files. A jump list for your browser might show favorite sites and provide actions for opening new tabs or windows.

By default, Windows 10 shows about 12 recent items in jump lists. In previous versions of Windows, you could increase or decrease that number easily through taskbar properties. Windows 10, for some reason, does not have this feature easily accessible. You can, however, change the number of items shown on jump lists with a quick Registry hack .

The search box takes up a lot of room on the taskbar, and you don't need it to do your searching. Even without it, if you press the Windows key and start typing, you'll get the same search experience. If you want to perform a voice search — normally accessed by clicking the microphone icon in the search box — you just have to press Windows+C on your keyboard instead.

You can remove the search box and leave just the icon, or you can remove both entirely. Right-click the taskbar and choose "Search" to see the options.

Right-click the Taskbar, mouse over

Choose the "Hidden" option to remove both the search box and icon or choose "Show Search Icon" to have just the icon on the taskbar.

The "Task View" button provides access to a thumbnail view of all your open apps and windows. It also lets you work with virtual desktops and shows you your Timeline if you enabled that.

The results of clicking the Task View button.

But you don't need a button to do this. Simply press Windows+Tab to access the same interface. To save a little taskbar space and get rid of the button, right-click the taskbar and turn off the "Show Task View button" option.

Right-click the Taskbar and untick

The Notification Area (sometimes called the "System Tray") holds system icons — like your Action Center and clock — and icons for various apps that run in the background. You can easily tweak which system icons appear in the Notification Area. Right-click any open area on the taskbar and then click "Taskbar Settings." On the taskbar settings page, scroll down a bit to the "Notification Area" section and click the "Turn system icons on or off" link.

Select

You'll see a list of system icons. Run through them and toggle each one on or off to suit your needs.

Some system icons that can be toggled.

Many of the apps you install in Windows are designed to run in the background. They're not things you need to interact with regularly, so instead of appearing directly on your taskbar, their icons are relegated to the Notification area. This lets you know they're running and gives you quick access when you need it. A few of these appear right in the Notification Area to the left of the clock. Others are hidden, but you can see them by clicking the up arrow to the left.

Click the chevron to see hidden icons.

You can quickly customize where these icons appear by dragging them between these two locations. For example, you might prefer that your OneDrive icon is always visible, in which case you'd drag it to the main Notification Area. You can also hide less important icons by dragging them to the hidden area.

Drag icon in or out of the hidden area.

You can also work with these icons through the settings interface. Right-click any open area of the taskbar and choose the "Settings" option. Scroll down and click the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" link.

Click

If you want to remove the hidden area and see all the icons all the time, turn on the "Always show all icons in the notification area" option. If you leave that setting off, you can also run through the list and turn individual apps on or off. Just note that turning an app off here doesn't remove it from the Notification Area altogether. When an app is turned off, it shows up in the hidden area. When it's on, it shows up in the main Notification Area.

A list of toggleable icons that can appear on your Taskbar.

The bottom edge of the screen is the default location of the taskbar in Windows 10, but you can move it. If you've got an extra-wide display — or multiple displays — you may find it nicer having the taskbar on the right or left edge of a display. Or maybe you prefer it at the top. You can move the taskbar in one of two ways. The first is just to drag it. Right-click the taskbar and turn off the "Lock the taskbar" option. If you have multiple displays you'll see "Lock All Taskbars" instead.

Select

Then, you can grab the taskbar in an empty area and drag it to any edge of your display.

Taskbar on the left side of the screen.

The other way to change the taskbar location is through the settings interface. Right-click on any empty area of the taskbar and choose "Taskbar Settings." In the taskbar settings window, scroll down and find the "Taskbar location on screen" drop-down menu. You can choose any of the four sides of the display from this menu.

Click the drop-down menu to change the Taskbar location.

You can also resize the taskbar to get a little additional space. This can be particularly handy if you moved it to the right or left edge of your screen, but it's also good if you just want space for loads of icons. Right-click the taskbar and turn off the "Lock the taskbar" option. Then place your mouse at the top edge of the taskbar and drag to resize it just like you would with a window. You can increase the size of the taskbar up to about half your screen size.

Click the Taskbar's edge and drag to resize it.

If you want a few more icons on your taskbar, but aren't keen on resizing it, you can configure Windows 10 to show small taskbar icons. Right-click on any empty area of the taskbar and click "Taskbar Settings." In the settings window, turn on the "Use small taskbar icons" option.

Go to the

As you can see, almost everything is the same except that the icons are smaller and you can cram a few more into the space. One difference you should note is that when you're using the smaller icons, the taskbar itself shrinks a bit vertically. As a result, only the clock is shown and not the date as well. But you can always hover your mouse over the clock or click it to check the date. This also applies if you've set your taskbar to display labels instead of just icons.

Tiny taskbar labels and icons.

By default, the taskbar groups icons for windows of the same app and doesn't show labels for those icons. This saves a lot of taskbar space but can make it difficult for newer users to recognize icons. You can have Windows show text labels, but the downside is that you also lose the grouping of related icons. To do this, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and click "Taskbar Settings." In the settings window, look for the "Combine taskbar buttons" drop-down menu.

The

The menu gives you three choices:

  • Always, hide labels . This is the Windows default setting. When it's selected, all windows for an app are grouped on the taskbar, and no labels are shown.
  • When taskbar is full . This is a middle-range setting. When selected, windows are not grouped, and labels are shown unless the taskbar becomes full. When it fills up, it reverts to the "Always, hide labels" functionality.
  • Never . When selected, windows are never grouped, and labels are always shown. You can see this setting in action below. Note that instead of a single File Explorer icon and a single Chrome icon, I now have two of each and the titles of the windows are displayed as labels.

In Windows 10, the default color of the taskbar is black. To change the color, press Windows+I to open the settings interface. In the main Settings window, click "Personalization."

Select

In the Personalization window, scroll down until you see the colors.

You'll see two options for controlling the taskbar — along with the Action Center and Start menu. Use the "Transparency Effects" toggle to choose whether those items should be transparent or opaque. When the "Start, taskbar, and action center" option is turned off, those items use the default black color. When you turn that option on, those items use the color you've picked in the color chooser at the top or, if you have the "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" option turned on, the color Windows has chosen.

Tick

By the way, Windows doesn't offer any controls to adjust the transparency of the taskbar, Start menu, and Action Center. If you don't mind making a quick Registry hack, though, you can make those items a bit more transparent than the default.

The Peek feature was introduced back with Windows 7 to let users quickly peek through all open applications to view the desktop. In previous versions, it was turned on by default. In Windows 10, you have to turn it on. Right-click on any empty area of the taskbar and click "Settings." In the settings window, turn on the cumbersomely named "Use Peek to preview the desktop when you move your mouse to the Show desktop button at the end of the taskbar" option.

Use peak option on Windows 10 taskbar.

With the Peek option turned on, you can move your mouse to the tiny sliver of space at the far right of the taskbar to hide all your windows and show you your desktop. When you move the mouse away, your windows return to their previous state. You can also click this area to automatically minimize all your windows so that you can actually do things on the desktop. Click the area again to restore your windows. You can also use the Windows+D keyboard shortcut to do the same thing as clicking the Peek area.

Windows also allows you to add toolbars to the taskbar. A toolbar is essentially a shortcut to a folder on your system, but the shortcut is displayed as the same kind of toolbar you might see in a browser or other app. You can access toolbars by right-clicking the taskbar and then pointing to the "Toolbars" submenu.

Right-click the taskbar and select

There are three toolbars built in:

  • Address . The address toolbar adds a simple address box to your taskbar. Type an address in it just like you would in your browser and the resulting page will open in your default browser.
  • Links . The links toolbar adds items found in your Internet Explorer favorites list.
  • Desktop . The desktop toolbar provides access to items stored on your desktop.

Below, you can see what the Address and Desktop toolbars look like when they're turned on. Instead of expanding the Desktop toolbar to show any icons, I reduced its size and use the double arrow to open a pop-up menu with all the items.

You can also add a custom toolbar that points to any folder on your system. This can be a great way of adding quick, taskbar access to items you regularly need. To create a toolbar, all you have to do is select the "New toolbar" option from the Toolbars submenu and point it to a folder.

If you use multiple displays, you'll be happy to know that Windows 10 includes decent customization controls for using your taskbar across multiple monitors. You can have a taskbar shown on only one display, a single taskbar stretched across all displays and even a separate taskbar for each display that only shows the apps open on that display. To tweak all this, right-click any open area of the taskbar and choose "Taskbar Settings." In the settings window, scroll all the way to the bottom to find the controls for multiple displays.

The options for controlling the Taskbar on multiple displays.

If you leave the "Show taskbar on all displays" option turned off — which is the default setting — then you'll see a single taskbar on your primary monitor only. All open windows for apps are shown on that taskbar, regardless of which display the windows are open on. Turn that option on to have a taskbar shown on all your displays and also open up the other options below.

The "Show taskbar buttons on" drop-down menu contains three options:

  • All taskbars . When you select this setting, the taskbar will be the same on every display. Each display's taskbar will show all open windows, no matter which display they're open on.
  • Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open . When you select this setting, the taskbar on your primary display will always show all open windows from all displays. Each additional display's taskbar will only show windows open on that display.
  • Taskbar where window is open . When you select this setting, each display — including your primary display — gets its own independent taskbar. Open windows are only shown on the taskbar on the display on which the window is open.

The "Combine buttons on other taskbars" option works much like the same option we covered earlier when we talked about adding labels to taskbar icons. The reason this option is here is so that you can have one option set for your primary display and a different option set for your other displays. For example, say you had three monitors. One is a large display, and the other two are smaller. You might want to have taskbar buttons not combined on your primary display — where you have lots of space — but combined on the smaller monitors.

Hopefully, these tips should get you much closer to turning the taskbar into something that meets your individual needs.

  • How to customize your Windows 11 taskbar

You can tweak your new taskbar — somewhat

change task properties

If you’ve updated your computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you may find that your taskbar isn’t quite as configurable — and perhaps not quite as useful — as it was before. For example, the old, familiar Start menu with its configurable Live Tiles is now gone. The search box is no longer within the taskbar but is accessed by first clicking on the Start menu — an extra step. (Although the fact that Cortana is no longer automatically part of that search box can be considered, by many at least, as a plus.)

Another thing: the taskbar is now permanently affixed to the bottom of the screen — so if you were more comfortable having it on top of the screen, or on either side, you’re out of luck.

As you might imagine, Windows users are already posting fixes for at least some of these issues — as long as you’re comfortable tweaking your Windows Registry. For example, there’s one that purportedly lets you move the taskbar to the top of the screen , and another that lets you change the size of the taskbar .

  • These apps let you customize Windows 11 to bring the taskbar back to life

It’s possible that Microsoft will bring back some of these abilities in future updates of the new OS. For now, let’s concentrate on how you can adjust the current Windows 11 taskbar.

Pin an app to the taskbar

Pinning an app to the taskbar at the bottom can be a little — well, weird. There are several ways to handle it:

  • If an app is running, its icon will appear in the taskbar with a line underneath to indicate that it is active. If you want its icon to remain in the taskbar even after you’ve closed it, then right-click on the icon and select “Pin to taskbar.”

Right click on an active icon and select “Pin to taskbar”

  • If an app isn’t running, but its icon is on your desktop, you can pin it to the Taskbar as well. Right-click on the desktop icon and click on “Show more options.” A longer menu will open up; about two-thirds down, you’ll see “Pin to taskbar.”
  • You can also click on the Start icon, select the “All apps” button, and then right-click on the app you want. If you don’t see “Pin to taskbar” in the menu that pops up, then select “More” and you’ll see “Pin to taskbar.”

You can also pin an app to your tasks from the “All apps” menu.

Remove an app from the taskbar

Most apps are simple to remove: just right-click on the icon and select “Unpin from taskbar.”

A few of the icons take a little more effort to remove. The Start menu icon is, as might be expected, unremovable. But there are four other icons that can’t be removed but can be hidden. The easiest way to do that is:

  • Right click on the taskbar.
  • Select “Taskbar settings.” (You can also get there by going to “Settings” > “Personalization” > “Taskbar.”)
  • Toggle off any of the four icons — “Search,” “Task view,” “Widgets,” or “Chat” — that you want to hide.

You can hide four of the standard taskbar icons.

Move your icons to the left

Those of us who having been using Windows 10 (or 7 or earlier iterations) are used to accessing the Start menu from the lower left-hand corner of the screen. If your muscle memory keeps your hand drifting to that corner, you can move the center app icons so they are to your left instead:

  • Right-click on the taskbar and click on “Taskbar settings.”
  • Select “Taskbar behaviors.”
  • Look for “Taskbar alignment” and click on the button on the right where it says “Center.” Select “Left” instead.
  • Close the settings window, and you’ll see that the app icons in the taskbar have moved to the left, with the Start menu icon in the corner.

You can move the icons from the center to the left of the taskbar.

Incidentally, the “Taskbar behaviors” section of the settings lets you do more than move your icons to the left. It also lets you automatically hide the taskbar (something that’s been a taskbar behavior for a very long time); show a badge on taskbar apps to let you know if, say, you have any unread messages; handle how the taskbar works on multiple displays; and show a clean desktop by clicking on the far right corner of the taskbar.

Taskbar behaviors include hiding the taskbar and showing unread messages.

Taskbar corner icons and overflow

While the taskbar corner icons and the overflow window aren’t new, I never actually knew what they were called before. To tell you the truth, when I first saw the phrase “Taskbar corner overflow,” I pictured a bunch of app icons flowing out of the display like Niagara Falls. Turns out the corner icons are the icons in the right corner of the taskbar — the ones that show the time and date, your battery status, your volume level, and your Wi-Fi status, among other things. The overflow is the little pop-up menu that appears when you select the arrow to the left of those corner icons.

For the most part, the icons in the overflow window are meant to notify you when there is something that needs to be done — messages that have arrived or an update that is needed. This is also handy for apps, like Discord, that tend to run in the background; you can shut them down easily from the overflow by right-clicking on the icon and looking for the “quit” selection.

While most of the corner icons that come with Windows are permanent, some — specifically, the Pen menu, the Touch keyboard, and the Virtual touchpad — can be hidden. They can be found on the same taskbar settings menu that let us move the icons to the left; just click on “Taskbar corner overflow” and toggle off the ones you don’t want to see.

The overflow menu lets you handle apps that run in the background.

How to customize the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar

Not a fan of the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar? Here's how to tweak its look

How to customize the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar

Windows 11 refreshes the Start menu and taskbar with a new look, and while it looks more modern, it’s important to know how to customize the Start menu and taskbar for future use. The centered position is simpler and less overwhelming, especially for first-time Windows users. But if you’ve been a Windows PC owner for ages and were content with how things worked before, you can easily customize the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar. 

Thanks to built-in personalization options and third-party apps, it’s possible to change the new Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar’s appearance just the way you prefer. Whether you’d like to restore Start back to its original corner or hide new taskbar additions, such as the widgets shortcut, we’ve got you covered in this Windows 11 guide.

  • 11 essential Windows 11 shortcuts you need to know

Edit the taskbar’s alignment and shortcuts 

The Windows 11 taskbar aligns your open and pinned apps’ icons in the center and features a handful of new shortcuts, including one for Microsoft Teams. But if you have no use for these additions, you can switch back to the Windows 10 design from the settings. 

Right-click the taskbar and select Taskbar settings. From the Taskbar items section, you can pick which buttons should be the dock. Similarly, you have the option to choose the shortcuts that are available from the corner overflow menu. 

Under Taskbar behaviours, you can move back your icons to the left corner and edit whether apps on the taskbar should display unread count badges. 

Resize the Windows 11 taskbar

Unlike macOS, Windows 11 doesn’t let you resize the dock, and you’re limited to the size that the software deems appropriate for your screen’s resolution. That might leave you with a taskbar that’s either too small or large to your liking. Fortunately, a simple registry hack allows you to get past this limitation and modify the Windows 11 taskbar size.

Hit the Windows and R keys together, punch in regedit, and press enter. 

Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > Advanced” from the list of folders on the left. 

Right-click Advanced in the left pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value . Name the new entry TaskbarSi.  

The TaskbarSi item’s value determines your taskbar’s size. You have three sizes to choose from: 0 for small, 1 for medium, and 2 for large . Double-click TaskbarSi and punch in one of these numbers to shrink or enlarge the Windows 11 dock. Reboot your computer to apply the new changes. 

Please note that since this is not an official method, some of your dock’s icons may appear pixelated on the largest size mode because they’re not optimized for it. 

Theme the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar

By default, the Start menu and taskbar backgrounds on Windows 11 are either light or dark, depending on your system preferences. If that’s too dull for you, Windows 11 lets you extend your system’s theme and colors to the taskbar. 

Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors and toggle on Show accent color on Start and taskbar. The Start menu and taskbar’s backdrops will now feature your PC theme’s dominant color. 

Edit the Windows 11 Start menu’s content

Apart from your installed programs, Windows 11’s Start menu offers quick access to the apps you open the most and the ones you recently downloaded. Given the Start menu’s limited space, this could, however, make it more crowded than necessary and difficult for you to find your pinned apps. 

To edit what the Start menu shows, head over to Settings > Personalization > Start . Toggle off the sections you don’t need and leave the rest as is. 

In addition, you can unpin the apps you don’t actively require for a cleaner Start. Simply right-click an app’s icon in Start and hit the Unpin from taskbar option to do that. 

Get the classic Start menu back with Start11

Microsoft only lets you personalize Windows 11’s Start menu and taskbar to an extent. For more customization tools, you’ll have to turn to a third-party app called Start11 . 

With Start11, you can swap the Windows 11 Start menu for a bunch of classic looks, including the one from Windows 7 . It also enables you to adjust the Start menu’s layout precisely, fine-tune its transparency as well as colors, add shortcuts to settings you access the most, relocate it to the corner or the top, and more. 

Start11 also brings back some taskbar functionality Windows 11 has removed. You can, for instance, add the context menu, which previously you could access by right-clicking the taskbar. Plus, with Start11, you can easily adjust the taskbar’s size without diving into the registry. 

Start11 is currently in beta and requires a one-time $4.99 fee.

Customize the Taskbar on Windows 11

Looking for OEM information? See Customize the Taskbar and Customize the Start layout .

Your organization can deploy a customized taskbar to your Windows devices. Customizing the taskbar is common when your organization uses a common set of apps, or wants to bring attention to specific apps. You can also remove the default pinned apps.

For example, you can override the default set of apps with your own a set of pinned apps, and in the order you choose. As an administrator, use this feature to pin apps, remove default pinned apps, order the apps, and more on the taskbar.

To add apps you want pinned to the taskbar, you use an XML file. You can use an existing XML file, or create a new file. If you have an XML file that's used on Windows 10 devices, you can also use it on Windows 11 devices. You may have to update the App IDs.

This article shows you how to create the XML file, add apps to the XML, and deploy the XML file. To learn how to customize the taskbar buttons, see CSP policies to customize Windows 11 taskbar buttons .

Before you begin

There isn't a limit on the number of apps that you can pin. In the XML file, add apps using the Application User Model ID (AUMID) or Desktop Application Link Path (the local path to the app).

There are some situations that an app pinned in your XML file won't be pinned in the taskbar. For example, if an app isn't approved or installed for a user, then the pinned icon won't show on the taskbar.

The order of apps in the XML file dictates the order of pinned apps on the taskbar, from left to right, and to the right of any existing apps pinned by the user. If the OS is configured to use a right-to-left language, then the taskbar order is reversed.

Some classic Windows applications are packaged differently than they were in previous versions of Windows, including Notepad and File Explorer. Be sure to enter the correct AppID. For more information, see Application User Model ID (AUMID) and Get the AUMID and Desktop app link path (in this article).

It's recommended to use a Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider. MDM providers help manage your devices, and help manage apps on your devices. You can use Microsoft Intune. Intune is a family of products that include Microsoft Intune, which is a cloud service, and Configuration Manager, which is on-premises.

In this article, we mention these services. If you're not managing your devices using an MDM provider, the following resources may help you get started:

  • Endpoint Management at Microsoft
  • What is Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Intune planning guide
  • What is Configuration Manager?

Create the XML file

In a text editor, such as Visual Studio Code, create a new XML file. To help you get started, you can copy and paste the following XML sample. The sample pins 2 apps to the taskbar - File Explorer and the Command Prompt:

In the <taskbar:TaskbarPinList> node, add (or remove) the apps you want pinned. You can pin Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps and desktop apps:

  • <taskbar:UWA> : Select this option for UWP apps. Add the AUMID of the UWP app.
  • <taskbar:DesktopApp> : Select this option for desktop apps. Add the Desktop Application Link Path of the desktop app.

You can pin as many apps as you want. Just keep adding them to the list. Remember, the app order in the list is the same order the apps are shown on the taskbar.

For more information, see Get the AUMID and Desktop app link path (in this article).

In the <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection> node, the apps you add are pinned after the default apps. If you want to remove the default apps, and only show the apps you add in the XML file, then add PinListPlacement="Replace" :

  • <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection> : Keeps the default pinned apps. After the default apps, the apps you add are pinned.
  • <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection PinListPlacement="Replace"> : Unpins the default apps. Only the apps you add are pinned.

If you want to remove some of the default pinned apps, then add PinListPlacement="Replace" . When you add your apps to <taskbar:TaskbarPinList> , include the default apps you still want pinned.

In the <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout> node, use region=" | " to use different taskbar configurations based on the device locale and region.

In the following XML example, two regions are added: US|UK and DE|FR :

The taskbar applies when:

  • If the <TaskbarPinList> node has a country or region, then the apps are pinned on devices configured for that country or region.
  • If the <TaskbarPinList> node doesn't have a region tag for the current region, then the first <TaskbarPinList> node with no region is applied.

Save the file, and name the file so you know what it is. For example, name the file something like TaskbarLayoutModification.xml . Once you have the file, it's ready to be deployed to your Windows devices.

Use Group Policy or MDM to create and deploy a taskbar policy

Now that you have the XML file with your customized taskbar, you're ready to deploy it to devices in your organization. You can deploy your taskbar XML file using Group Policy, or using an MDM provider, like Microsoft Intune.

This section shows you how to deploy the XML both ways.

Use Group Policy to deploy your XML file

Use the following steps to add your XML file to a group policy, and apply the policy:

Open your policy editor. For example, open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) for domain-based group policies, or open gpedit for local policies.

Go to one of the following policies:

  • Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Start Layout
  • User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Start Layout

Double-select Start Layout > Enable . Enter the fully qualified path to your XML file, including the XML file name. You can enter a local path, like C:\StartLayouts\TaskbarLayoutModification.xml , or a network path, like \\Server\Share\TaskbarLayoutModification.xml . Be sure you enter the correct file path. If using a network share, be sure to give users read access to the XML file. If the file isn't available when the user signs in, then the taskbar isn't changed. Users can't customize the taskbar when this setting is enabled.

Your policy looks like the following policy:

Add your taskbar layout XML file to the Start Layout policy on Windows devices.

The User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar policy includes other settings that control the taskbar. Some policies may not work as expected. Be sure to test your policies before broadly deploying them across your devices.

When you apply the policy, the taskbar includes your changes. The next time users sign in, they'll see the changes.

For more information on using group policies, see Implement Group Policy Objects .

Create a Microsoft Intune policy to deploy your XML file

MDM providers can deploy policies to devices managed by the organization, including organization-owned devices, and personal or bring your own device (BYOD). Using an MDM provider, such as Microsoft Intune, you can deploy a policy that configures the pinned list.

Use the following steps to create an Intune policy that deploys your taskbar XML file:

Sign in to the Intune admin center .

Select Devices > Configuration profiles > Create profile .

Enter the following properties:

  • Platform : Select Windows 10 and later .
  • Profile type : Select Templates > Device restrictions > Create .

In Basics , enter the following properties:

  • Name : Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Name your profiles so you can easily identify it later. For example, a good profile name is Win11: Custom taskbar .
  • Description : Enter a description for the profile. This setting is optional, and recommended.

Select Next .

In Configuration settings , select Start > Start menu layout . Browse to, and select your taskbar XML file.

Select Next , and configure the rest of the policy settings. For more specific information, see Configure device restriction settings .

When the policy is created, you can deploy it now, or deploy it later. Since this policy is a customized taskbar, the policy can also be deployed before users sign in the first time.

For more information and guidance on assigning policies using Microsoft Intune, see Assign user and device profiles .

For third party partner MDM solutions, you may need to use an OMA-URI setting for Start layout, based on the Policy configuration service provider (CSP) . The OMA-URI setting is ./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Start/StartLayout .

Get the AUMID and Desktop app link path

In the layout modification XML file, you add apps in the XML markup. To pin an app, you enter the AUMID or Desktop Application Link Path. The easiest way to find this app information is to use the Export-StartLayout Windows PowerShell cmdlet:

On an existing Windows 11 device, pin the app to the Start menu.

Create a folder to save an output file. For example, create the C:\Layouts folder.

Open the Windows PowerShell app, and run the following cmdlet:

Open the generated GetIDorPath.xml file, and look for the app you pinned. When you find the app, get the AppID or Path. Add these properties to your XML file.

Pin order for all apps

On a taskbar, the following apps are typically pinned:

Apps pinned by the user

Default Windows apps pinned during the OS installation, such as Microsoft Edge, File Explorer, and Microsoft Store.

Apps pinned by your organization, such as in an unattended Windows setup.

In an unattended Windows setup file, use the XML file you created in this article. It's not recommended to use TaskbarLinks .

Apps are pinned in the following order:

  • Windows default apps are pinned first.
  • User-pinned apps are pinned after the Windows default apps.
  • XML-pinned apps are pinned after the user-pinned apps.

If the OS is configured to use a right-to-left language, then the taskbar order is reversed.

OS install and upgrade

On a clean install of the Windows client, if you apply a taskbar layout, the following apps are pinned to the taskbar:

  • Apps you specifically add
  • Any default apps you don't remove

After the taskbar layout is applied, users can pin more apps, change the order, and unpin apps.

On a Windows client upgrade, apps are already pinned to the taskbar. These apps may have been pinned by a user, by an image, or by using Windows unattended setup. For upgrades, the taskbar layout applies the following behavior:

  • If users pinned apps to the taskbar, then those pinned apps remain. New apps are pinned after the existing user-pinned apps.
  • If the apps are pinned during the install or by a policy (not by a user), and the apps aren't pinned in an updated layout file, then the apps are unpinned.
  • If a user didn't pin an app, and the same app is pinned in the updated layout file, then the app is pinned after any existing pinned apps.
  • New apps in updated layout file are pinned after the user's pinned apps.

After the layout is applied, users can pin more apps, change the order, and unpin apps.

How to use the taskbar in Windows

Use the taskbar for more than seeing your apps and checking the time. You can personalize it in many ways—change the color, pin your favorite apps to it, and move or rearrange taskbar buttons. You can also check your battery status and minimize all open programs momentarily so that you can take a look at your desktop.

taskbar windows 11

Pin an app to the taskbar

Pin an app directly to the taskbar for quick access when you're on the desktop. (Or unpin it, if you want.) You can do it from Start or the Jump List—which is a list of shortcuts to recently opened files, folders, and websites.

Pin an app from Start

In the Search box on the taskbar, type the name of the app you want to pin to the taskbar. Press and hold (or right-click) on the app, then select Pin to taskbar .

To unpin an app, follow the same steps and select Unpin from taskbar .

Pin or unpin an app from the App list

If the app is already open, select and hold the icon in the taskbar (or right-click it), then select Pin to taskbar .

If you’re unpinning, follow the same steps and select Unpin from taskbar .

Change your taskbar settings

Customize the taskbar from the taskbar itself. If you want to change multiple aspects of the taskbar at one time, use Taskbar settings. Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, and then select Taskbar settings .

In the Taskbar settings , scroll to see the options for customizing, choosing icons, and much more.

Note:  The Taskbar settings allow you to align taskbar icons in the center or on the left—but there are no settings for moving a taskbar to the top or side of the screen. By default, the taskbar sits at the bottom of the screen.

Select any of the following to see more ways to customize your taskbar.

Hide or display taskbar items

These are the buttons and bars that sit right next to your Start button and cannot be moved.

Search  on the taskbar can be set in four ways: either to  Search box , which includes a full text box to enter your search (or your Bing Chat prompt; see Using the new Bing on the Windows taskbar for more) into plus additional search highlights,  Search icon and label (displaying as a search icon and Search label), Search icon only (just the icon) or  Hide (completely hidden).

Note:  The Search box setting is not supported when Automatically hide the taskbar is selected under Taskbar behaviors .

You can also set the Task view , Widgets , or Chat buttons On or Off .

Open Taskbar settings

Hide or display system tray icons

Keep your system tray neat and tidy! In System tray icons , you can determine when the Pen menu , Touch keyboard , or Virtual touchpad icons are displayed. In Other system tray icons , you can turn icons that are mostly installed alongside other apps On (meaning they will display in the tray all of the time) or Off (meaning they will only show when they need your attention, and otherwise can be accessed in the Hidden icon menu , if you have that turned On .)

Change the taskbar alignment

Typically, the taskbar icons are centered, but you can also align them to the side of the taskbar.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, then select Taskbar settings > Taskbar behaviors .

Scroll to Taskbar alignment and select Left.

Rearrange taskbar buttons

Whenever you want to change the order of app buttons on the taskbar, just drag a button from its current position to a different one.

Show badges on taskbar buttons

A badge on a taskbar button is an alert to let you know that some activity is happening, or needs to happen, with that app.

For example, a bell badge on the Alarms & Clocks app alerts you to an active alarm that will notify you at the time you set. This feature is turned on by default, but if you want to make sure it’s on (or to turn it off), press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , select  Taskbar behaviors , and scroll to  Show badges (unread messages counter) on taskbar apps .

Use the taskbar to show the desktop

Use the show desktop feature to take a quick look at what’s on your desktop behind all the open windows.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , select  Taskbar behaviors , then choose  Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop . Open Taskbar settings

Move the mouse over, or press, the far-right edge of the taskbar to see the desktop.

To restore the view of all your open windows, move the mouse over, or press, the far-right edge of the desktop again.

Automatically hide the taskbar

You can hide the taskbar both in desktop mode and tablet mode. Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , select Taskbar behaviors , and select Automatically hide the taskbar .

To see the taskbar after it's hidden, hover your mouse over, or touch, the bottom edge of your screen.

Change the color of your taskbar

Select Start  > Settings  > Personalization .

Select Colors and scroll to Accent color .

Turn on Show accent color on Start and taskbar . This will change the color of your taskbar to the color of your overall theme.

Note:  This option is only available if you select Dark or Custom as your Windows color (under Choose your mode ). If you choose Custom , you'll also need to choose Dark for Choose your default Windows mode .

Open Colors settings

Use the tablet-optimized taskbar on 2-in-1 devices

Note:  This setting is only available on 2-in-1 devices with tablet functionality.

When you disconnect or fold back the keyboard on your 2-in-1 device, you'll now see the tablet-optimized taskbar in the latest versions of Windows 11. This taskbar has two states: collapsed and expanded. In the collapsed state, the taskbar is minimized so you can focus on your task, but you can still see critical status icons like the time or battery level. When you need to use the taskbar, swipe up from the bottom to see the expanded state that has a touch-friendly design with larger icons. When you launch an app, the taskbar will automatically collapse again.

To turn the tablet-optimized taskbar on or off, do this:

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , and then select  Taskbar behaviors .

To turn off the tablet-optimized taskbar, uncheck the box next to  Optimize taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet . To turn it back on again, simply recheck the box.

Display seconds in the clock on the taskbar

You can show seconds alongside hours and minutes in your system tray clock on the taskbar. Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, then select Taskbar settings  >  Taskbar behaviors , and then check Show seconds in system tray clock .

Use the taskbar for more than seeing your apps and checking the time. You can personalize it in many ways—change the color and size, pin your favorite apps to it, move it around on your screen, and rearrange or resize taskbar buttons. You can also check your battery status, minimize all open programs momentarily so that you can take a look at your desktop, lock the taskbar to keep your options, and customize your settings for search highlights, news and interests, and more.

Pin an app directly to the taskbar for quick access when you're on the desktop. (Or unpin it, if you want.) You can do it from Start or the Jump List, which is a list of shortcuts to recently opened files, folders, and websites.

Pin or unpin an app from Start

To unpin an app, follow the same steps and select Unpin from taskbar  .

If the app is already open, right-click or press and hold the app's icon on the taskbar, then select Pin to taskbar . Or select  Unpin from taskbar  if you're unpinning the app.

Taskbar jump list

In the Taskbar settings, scroll to see the options for customizing, sizing, choosing icons, battery information and much more. 

Select any of the following to see more info.

Lock and unlock the taskbar

Locking the taskbar is handy to make sure it remains how you set it up. Unlock the taskbar later when you want to make changes or change its location on the desktop.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar.

Select Taskbar settings    and turn on Lock the taskbar .

If Lock the taskbar has a check mark next to it, you know it’s already locked. To turn it off, under  Lock the taskbar  set the toggle to  Off .

If you have multiple monitors that display the taskbar, you'll see Lock all taskbars .

Change the taskbar location

Typically, the taskbar is at the bottom of the desktop, but you can also move it to either side or the top of the desktop. When the taskbar is unlocked, you can change its location. See the  Lock and unlock the taskbar  section to find out if yours is locked. When you've confirmed that your taskbar is unlocked, you can change its location.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar and select  Taskbar settings  .

Scroll down to Taskbar location on screen , and then select Left, Top, Right, or Bottom .

Change the height of the taskbar

Like many other changes in the taskbar, you'll need to first unlock the taskbar. Then, move the pointer over the border of the taskbar until the pointer turns into a double arrow. Drag the border to the size you want and release. 

See your battery status on the taskbar

You can add the battery icon to the taskbar.

Select Taskbar settings   , scroll down, and choose  Select which icons appear on the taskbar.

Set the toggle for  Power to  On .

You can check battery status by selecting the battery icon in the taskbar.

To see the desktop, select the space at the end of the taskbar.

Note:  You might need to select the Show hidden icons  icon on the taskbar before selecting the battery icon. Power is not an option on systems without a battery.

Whenever you want to change the order of app buttons on the taskbar, just drag a button from its current position to a different one. You might want to choose how taskbar buttons are grouped, especially if you have multiple windows open. By default, all open files from the same app are always grouped together, even if you didn’t open them in succession.

Change how taskbar buttons group together

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, then select Taskbar settings  >  Combine taskbar buttons .

Select from the list:

Always, hide labels . This is the default setting. Each app appears as a single, unlabeled button, even when multiple windows for that app are open.

When taskbar is full . This setting shows each window as an individual, labeled button. When the taskbar becomes crowded, apps with multiple open windows collapse into a single app button. Select the button to see a list of the windows that are open.

Never . This setting shows each window as an individual, labeled button and never combines them, no matter how many windows are open. As more apps and windows open, buttons get smaller, and eventually the buttons will scroll.

If you use multiple displays, you can make a different choice for your extra displays. 

Select Taskbar settings  .

Scroll down to  Multiple Displays and select from the  Combine taskbar buttons   on other taskbars list.

Choose Combine taskbar buttons when taskbar is full

Use smaller or larger taskbar buttons

If you want to show more of your apps on the taskbar, you can show smaller versions of the buttons.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , and then select  On for  Use small taskbar buttons. 

Select  Off to return to the larger taskbar buttons.

Note:  Badges aren't displayed on small taskbar buttons.

A badge on a taskbar button is an alert to let you know that some activity is happening or needs to happen with that app. For example, a bell badge on the Alarms & Clocks app alerts you to an active alarm that will notify you at the time you set. This feature is turned on by default, but you can make sure it’s on (or turn it off). 

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, and select Taskbar settings  .

Scroll down to Show badges on taskbar buttons  and set the toggle as desired.

Use the taskbar to peek at the desktop

Use the Peek feature to take a quick look at what’s on your desktop behind all the open windows.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings , and then turn on Use Peek to preview the desktop when you move your mouse to the Show desktop button at the end of the taskbar . Open Taskbar settings

Move the mouse pointer over (or press and hold) the far-right edge of the taskbar to see the desktop.

To restore the view of all your open windows, move the pointer away or press and hold the edge one more time.

You can hide the taskbar based on whether you’re in desktop mode or tablet mode.

Press and hold (or right-click) any empty space on the taskbar, and select Taskbar settings .

Turn on either  Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode or  Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode (or both).

Select Start  > Settings  > Personalization .

Select Colors  and scroll down to  Show accent color on the following surfaces .

Select Start, taskbar, and action center . This will change the color of your taskbar to the color of your overall theme.

How about ading rows to the taskbar so I can add as many apps as possible to it. IThis has been possible since Windows 95. The Windows 10 computer that I am typing this comment has 41 Icons using two rows on the taskbar, and I would like to have this feature on Windows 11

I’m trapped in the crashing windows explorer,how do i reset it??

Don Penlington is correct; the creation of custom toolbars on the Windows 11 taskbar is an essential feature! Please support custom toolbars soon in an update!

How can I create new Toolbars on the Taskbar? (previously right-click on taskbar/New/Toolbar–that now seems to be missing from my updated W11 Preview).

And how can I set Taskbar properties from the default “Always Hide” to “Never Hide”? (Always a brainless default setting in my opinion).

Thats what i also wanna know……….

I am a developer, I always had a new Toolbar which had all my icons for the developer icons in it I wanted. Laid out the way I wanted. I cannot do that anymore and it’s quite irritating. I don’t like it when Microsoft tries to improve something by removing it.

how do i disable the grouping (“enable ungrouping for windows”)

Many thanks.

7 tips for customizing your taskbar in Windows 10

How can I customize the taskbar in Windows 10 ?

Best 5.1 speakers for PC gaming

While there's nothing wrong with the default look of the Windows 10 taskbar, there are ways you can make it work better for you. Check out our favorite taskbar customization tips below.

What is a taskbar and what does it do?

Change the taskbar's location on your screen, pin an app to the taskbar, unpin apps from the taskbar, make the taskbar buttons smaller, pin a folder or file to the taskbar for quick access, auto-hide the taskbar, how to lock the taskbar so that its proportions stay constant, change how many taskbar buttons are displayed.

The taskbar is an interactive object that by default sits on the bottom of your screen and lets you manage various tasks in Windows. It lets you see which apps you have open, the date and time, and lets you "pin" or stick apps that you use frequently to it so that you can access them quickly whenever you want.

By default, the Windows 10 taskbar is located at the bottom of your screen, but you can move it to the top or either side of the screen, if it pleases you.

  • Right-click in an empty spot of the taskbar .
  • Click on Properties in the pop-up menu that appears.
  • Click into the taskbar location on screen drop-down menu .
  • Bottom : The taskbar is located at the bottom of the screen (Default)
  • Left : The taskbar is located on the left side of the screen
  • Right : The taskbar is located on the right side of the screen
  • Top : The taskbar is located at the top of the screen
  • Click OK to save your changes and close the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties box.

That's all there is to it. If you ever want to go back to the default spot, just follow these steps again and choose Bottom .

Windows lets you "pin" or stick apps to the taskbar so that they will always be handy when you need them.

  • Click and hold the app you want to pin.
  • Drag the app toward the taskbar.
  • Release the app inside the taskbar.

Now that app is pinned to your taskbar, and you can launch it quickly whenever you need it.

If you don't regularly use the apps that Windows has pinned on the taskbar by default, you can quickly and easily unpin them to make room for apps that you do use.

  • Right-click on the app you want to unpin.
  • Click Unpin from taskbar .

That's it. The button disappears from your taskbar as if it were never there at all. Of course, you can always pin it back. This works for apps that you've pinned yourself, as well as default apps.

If you want to make more room on your screen, you can make the buttons on the taskbar smaller. Here's how:

  • Click the Use small taskbar buttons checkbox to select it.

Now your taskbar takes up less space on your screen. If you ever want to go back to the default settings, simply follow these steps and deselect the checkbox.

  • Hover your mouse pointer over Toolbars
  • Click New toolbar .
  • Start typing the name of the folder or file that you want to create a toolbar for, or alternatively, choose it from the available files and folders shown in the New Toolbar window .
  • Click Select Folder to confirm your choice and close the New Toolbar window .

You can set the taskbar to automatically disappear unless you hover your mouse over it. This is useful for maximizing screen real estate.

  • Click the Auto-hide the taskbar checkbox to select it.

Abracadabra — the taskbar is gone. But don't worry: if you hover your mouse pointer over its location, it will appear. Any time you want to un-auto-hide the taskbar, simply follow these steps and deselect the checkbox.

If you want to constrain the proportions of the taskbar so that it stays relatively the same width, you can do this by locking it down. Here is how:

  • Right-click in an empty spot of the taskbar.
  • Click on Lock the taskbar in the pop-up menu that appears.

That's it. Now your taskbar will stay looking the same, even if you add a million buttons. Well, ok, maybe not, but you get the point, right?

By default, Windows combines and hides buttons to free up real estate on the taskbar; however, you can change this setting so that all of the buttons on your taskbar are never combined or hidden, or only get combined or hidden when the taskbar is full.

  • Click into the taskbar buttons drop-down menu .
  • Always combine, hide labels : Buttons will always be combined and hidden (Default)
  • Combine when taskbar is full : Buttons will be combined and hidden when the taskbar is full
  • Never combine : Buttons will never be combined or hidden

  • Frequently Asked Questions

What to Know

  • Most of the available options are in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar . Others are in the registry.
  • Customizations include left-aligning the icons and hiding the Widgets button.

This article explains how to customize your Windows 11 taskbar to adjust where the icons are positioned, change how big the taskbar buttons are, and more.

Move Start Button & Icons to the Left

Windows 11 is the first version of Windows that places the Start menu and other icons in the center of the taskbar instead of the left. But it doesn't have to stay that way.

This is a super easy change that you can make through Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors .

Change Pinned Icons

The Start button is the only thing that has to exist on the taskbar. Everything else can be modified, meaning you can drag icons to rearrange them, hide Widgets and other default icons, and pin new icons to the taskbar.

How to Hide Default Taskbar Icons

Follow these steps to hide any of the following taskbar buttons: Search, Copilot, Task view, Widgets, or Chat.

Open Settings.

You can do this from the Power User Menu (right-click the Start button) or through a search for Settings .

Select Taskbar .

From the Taskbar items section at the top, select the toggle button next to any button you want to hide, like Task view or Chat .

How to Pin Programs to the Taskbar

You can add items to the Windows 11 taskbar for quick access to your favorite apps. But unlike older Windows versions, you can't drag and drop items to the taskbar to pin them.

Instead, there are a few other ways to do it:

  • Open the program, right-click its button in the taskbar, and select Pin to taskbar .
  • Find the program in the Start menu, right-click it, and choose Pin to taskbar .
  • Locate the program shortcut in File Explorer (like on the desktop), right-click it, and go to Show more options > Pin to taskbar .

To unpin a non-default taskbar item, right-click it and select Unpin from taskbar .

Auto-Hide the Taskbar

Windows 11 lets you hide the taskbar when you don't need it. It'll remain collapsed into the bottom of the screen until you focus on it with the mouse or trigger it open with the Windows key.

This option is called Automatically hide the taskbar . It's accessible in the taskbar settings.

Change the Taskbar Size & Color

The size of the whole taskbar can be changed, but, unfortunately, there isn't a regular, click-here-to-change option in Settings to do it. Instead, you need to go into the Windows Registry to make the change.

The taskbar color, on the other hand, is much easier to change:

Open Settings, and select Personalization from the left panel.

Choose Colors from the right.

Select Custom from the menu next to Choose your mode .

Select Dark from the menu next to Choose your default Windows mode .

Scroll down and toggle Show accent color on Start and taskbar on.

Pick a color from the Accent color area.

Show or Hide System Tray Icons

System tray icons are located by the clock on the far right side of the taskbar. You can edit this part of the taskbar if there are items visible down there that you'd rather not see, or if some icons are hidden that you do want quick access to.

There are two ways:

  • Drag-and-drop icons in and out of the overflow menu.
  • Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar . Expand Other system tray icons , and select the button next to any item to toggle its visibility on or off.

You can't hide the network or volume icon in Windows 11.

Something else you can do related to these taskbar icons is force them to always show, but the option to do that isn't available in Settings. Instead, open the Run dialog box ( Win + R ), enter the below command, and check the box next to Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar .

Disable 'Show Desktop' Button

This is a small button at the very far right side of the taskbar called Show desktop . If you've ever clicked it by accident, and all your open windows minimized, you might find it more of an inconvenience than a helpful feature.

Fortunately, it's super easy to disable:

Open the taskbar settings by right-clicking an empty area of the taskbar, and choosing Taskbar settings .

Expand Taskbar behaviors at the bottom of the page.

Uncheck the box next to Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop .

Combine Taskbar Buttons

You can disable taskbar button grouping in Windows using Settings. Another way to ungroup taskbar icons is with a third-party program.

StartAllBack is one such program that includes this option. To ungroup taskbar buttons in Windows 11 with this program, open its Taskbar menu and change the Combine taskbar buttons option to Never . The change will take effect immediately.

This program has tons of other customizations you can apply to Windows 11. For example, you can move the taskbar to the top or side of the screen, make the icons extra large, and customize Start menu items.

Weather is one of several Widgets you can add to the Windows 11 desktop . To add it, press Win + W to open the Widgets window, and then click the plus sign next to the weather one to add it.

You can remove Widgets by first opening the Widgets window ( Win + W ), and then clicking the X next to the one you want to remove. This option is different from hiding the Widgets button in the taskbar, which you do through Settings.

How Workday Student can distribute workloads and expand capacity

By Anne Krapfl February 22, 2024

Many of the student functions and process changes rolling out in Workday arose from the opportunity to remedy limitations in Iowa State's decades-old legacy systems. Staff experiences and their ideas for solutions are behind a few improvements highlighted here: Longer course numbers and improved processes for editing course section details, for example, the course limit, necessary equipment or room assignment.

Expanding course numbers

When the third Workday rollout goes live March 4, students and employees will see four-digit course numbers for fall registration. A "0" will be added to the end of most undergraduate and graduate course numbers. Two exceptions are:

  • Courses for students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine professional program. The digit "7" precedes the course number to distinguish the series from graduate courses. Veterinary medicine faculty worked with the registrar team to determine which courses became part of the 7000 series.
  • Developmental courses that don't provide credit toward any degree program. The "0" appears as the first digit.

Four-digit courses

Four-digit course numbers:

  • Provide more course numbers for each department as new courses are developed
  • Offer greater flexibility for course number sequences and clustering
  • Expand number availability in multiple departments for cross-listed and dual-listed courses
  • Provide consistency with course numbering standards at Iowa's regent universities and several peer institutions

Assistant registrar Heidi Christensen said the practice of retiring a course number when a course is discontinued creates a number shortage over time.

"In some departments, we've struggled to come up with [course] numbers the department prefers to use. The 1000 series will provide greater flexibility for future use," she said. "The expansion also gives departments the capacity to group course numbers by type -- for example, workshop, creative component or research credits -- for consistency across the university."

For courses completed while they were still listed as a three-digit number (for example, Math 195 this spring), they will appear that way in students' records in Workday. 

Distributing a big task: Edits to course sections

The task of updating course sections in Workday will belong to department representatives with access privileges, eliminating a manual back-and-forth process between departments and registrar staff prior to each registration window that consumed time. In the legacy system, departments didn't have access to course section records to change details such as location, meeting patterns or section seating capacity, so that load fell to the registrar team.

Now, course section edits submitted by department partners in Workday will be routed to both the registrar and room scheduling teams for approval.

The streamlined process also eliminates the former Course Offering Change Form, a Kuali business process in AccessPlus. However, part of that form's function is preserved in a new form. The room scheduling team worked with the Workday implementation team to create a single-purpose tool in Workday, the Course Location Change Request Form. The intent is to expedite the course section editing process (a Workday business process) by separating room assignment requests from it.

New form for requesting a classroom change

While course section locations will be listed in Workday during registration, it's "highly likely" locations among Iowa State's general university 209-room inventory will change by the time classes start in August, said Katie Baumgarn, who leads the room scheduling team. This is an every-semester reality, she said.

Room assignments in department-controlled instructional spaces are more certain, pending departmental decisions to make changes (which they then share with the room scheduling team).

Once registration concludes in April, the room scheduling team goes to work on hundreds of space and room attribute requests from department partners and the team in student accessibility services. As they work through those, course sections may move to other rooms. About a month before the semester starts, departments are notified of changes to their classroom assignments.

Baumgarn encourages department partners to use the Course Location Change Request Form in Workday several ways as a communication tool:

  • Share their preferences for course locations.
  • Receive an answer on a room request, prior to submitting the change in the course section edit process. Avoid declined room requests later -- and save time -- by completing this step first.
  • Investigate 'what-if' scenarios to see what's possible on room assignments.

Baumgarn acknowledged it may be tempting to go into Workday's course section editing task to make all changes at once, including location. Unless it's a room managed by that department, she encouraged department representatives to not change a location without checking first with her team.

"The final decision on location rests with room scheduling, based on what's available," she said. "If you try to schedule a really large class at 9:30 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, there may not be a room for you."

As with course section editing, access to the location request form will be limited to department partners or others with access privileges. Questions may be directed to [email protected] .

Short-term lets rules to protect communities and keep homes available

Local residents will be protected from being pushed out of their communities by excessive short-term lets thanks to changes in planning rules.

change task properties

  • Planning permission will be required for future short-term lets 
  • Mandatory national register will provide valuable information and help ensure accommodation is safe
  • Proposals will give communities greater control over future growth
  • Homeowners can continue to let out their own main or sole home for up to 90 nights a year

Local residents will be protected from being pushed out of their communities by excessive short-term lets thanks to changes in planning rules announced today.

Under the reforms councils will be given greater power to control short-term lets by making them subject to the planning process. This will support local people in areas where high numbers of short-term lets are preventing them from finding housing they can afford to buy or to rent.

These changes are part of a long-term plan to prevent a “hollowing out” of communities, address anti-social behaviour and ensure local people can continue to live in the place they call home.

Meanwhile, a new mandatory national register will give local authorities the information they need about short-term lets in their area. This will help councils understand the extent of short-term lets in their area, the effects on their communities, and underpin compliance with key health and safety regulations.

Short-term lets are now a significant part of the UK’s visitor economy, and can provide increased choice and flexibility for tourists and business travellers. To recognise this, homeowners will still be able to let out their own main or sole home for up to 90 nights throughout a year without planning permission and government is considering how to apply the register so it does not apply disproportionate regulation for example on property owners that let out their home infrequently.

Secretary of State for Levelling Up Housing and Communities, Michael Gove said:

Short-term lets can play an important role in the UK’s flourishing tourism economy, providing great, easily-accessible accommodation in some of the most beautiful parts of our country. But in some areas, too many local families and young people feel they are being shut out of the housing market and denied the opportunity to rent or buy in their own community. So the government is taking action as part of its long-term plan for housing. That means delivering more of the right homes in the right places, and giving communities the power to decide. This will allow local communities to take back control and strike the right balance between protecting the visitor economy and ensuring local people get the homes they need.

Tourism Minister Julia Lopez said:

Short-term lets provide flexibility for homeowners and give tourists more accommodation options than ever before, but this should not prevent local people from being able to buy or rent homes in their area. The government is committed to getting the balance right to ensure both local people and our visitor economy can thrive.

Amanda Cupples, General Manager for Northern Europe, Airbnb said: 

The introduction of a short-term lets register is good news for everyone. Families who Host on Airbnb will benefit from clear rules that support their activity, and local authorities will get access to the information they need to assess and manage housing impacts and keep communities healthy, where necessary. We have long led calls for the introduction of a Host register and we look forward to working together to make it a success.

The proposed planning changes would see a new planning ‘use class’ created for short-term lets not used as a sole or main home. Existing dedicated short-term lets will automatically be reclassified into the new use class and will not require a planning application.

The changes are part of the government’s long-term plan for housing, unlocking more of the homes this country needs and meeting the target to deliver one million homes this Parliament, backed by £10 billion investment.

The government also intends to introduce associated permitted development rights – one allowing for a property to be changed from a short-term let to a standard residential dwelling, and a second that would allow a property to be changed to a short-term let. Local authorities would be able to remove these permissions and require full planning permission if they deem it necessary.

Both of these measures are focussed on short-term lets, and therefore the planning changes and the register will not affect hotels, hostels or B&Bs.

Further details of these measures will be set out in the government’s response to the consultations, including the timeline for implementation of the register, the use class and the individual permitted development rights - with the changes being introduced from this summer.

Alistair Handyside MBE, Executive Chair of the Professional Association of Self Caterers UK (PASC UK), said:

We welcome the introduction of a registration scheme for short term lets in England. This is widely supported by accommodation providers and will finally provide real data on our sector. This is a first and important step to creating a level playing field for operators and we look forward to working with the government on the detail of the introduction of the register.
