on..
In our last post, we had seen how to pin an app to start menu in windows 10, how to pin an app to
taskbar in Windows 10 ( including an hidden trick😄) . Thanks to our reader Michael for notifying
me to post how to unpin an app, program or in simple language the icon. What he did was pinned an
app to taskbar and start menu, he did everything right, except one thing, he pinned the wrong
program(which he doesn't want to do).Since he was a beginner, he asked me to post how to unpin an
app from taskbar, which he thought could help many fellow users like us..
So, in this post let's see how to unpin an app from start menu and taskbar, unpin an program from
start menu and taskbar, unpin an icon from start menu and taskbar ( Yup, they all are same terms and
follows same procedure😊😊)
I like to say one thing, you don't need an software to unpin app from start. Also you don't need
registry or group policy to unpin program/icon from start or taskbar.
Just follow the below steps..
How to Unpin an program or icon or Application from taskbar in Windows 10
1) look for the app you wish to unpin from taskbar. on taskbar.
2) Right click on the item (app's icon) you wish to unpin on taskbar
3) You will see the App's name, Unpin from taskbar , Close window Option,
4) Click on the Unpin from taskbar Option.
Fact ! if you see Pin to taskbar instead of Unpin from taskbar, then you don't need to do anything, because your app is either already unpinned from taskbar or yet to be pinned.
That's it..
