The "taskbar" of Windows 10 is not much different from the same item in previous versions. It also allows you to pin badges, shortcuts and other tools.

• And go to the "Taskbar" tab and set the required panel location in the settings - at the top, bottom, left, right.

Customization of the “Taskbar” design

With the default settings in Windows 10, the Taskbar is black with icons on it — tasks. If this does not suit you, and you would like to change the color as well as the transparency of the panel, then this can be easily done:

1. Go from “Control Panel” to “Settings”.

3. In the column on the left you can see the item "Color", and on the right, find "Show color in the start menu", as well as "The taskbar and notification center are transparent." Here, above, you can customize the shade of the panel.

   

This interface cannot maximize the transparency of a panel item. But this is done using the registry. And you can also use special utilities for detailed settings and the ability to remove the Taskbar located on top of all windows in Windows 10.

Add additional tools to the interface

On the "Quick Access Toolbar" in Windows 10, you can add and remove elements of additional tools.

3. If you select the “Links” line from the context menu, then all the links that “lie” in the bookmarks in your browser will appear in the tray.

You can also add the "Desktop" button to the "Taskbar". This feature is not new and has been included in previous versions of Winsows 7, 8. When you activate the button, all desktop shortcuts are highlighted in the drop-down list. In the tray, you can fix any folder by creating a personal “Toolbar”. To do this, click on the RMB tray, select "Panels" and then "Create Toolbar". In the explorer select the desired folder. In the "Taskbar" near the system icons you will see your folder.

Problems with the taskbar in Windows 10

Often there are some failures and errors in the tray, such as the icon of the volume control knob disappears, which leads to the fact that there is no possibility to adjust the sound programmatically. Sometimes the rest of the icons disappear. This problem has been known since previous versions of the OS. In order for the icons to reappear, you need to restart the explorer. For this:
