Right-click anywhere on your Desktop, then choose 'Personalize'. This will bring you to the Windows Settings/Personalization menu. Once there, choose 'Taskbar' and then activate the option 'Automatically hide the Taskbar in Desktop Mode' and/or 'Automatically hide the Taskbar in Tablet Mode'.

Go to where all the apps are. Then you will right-click on the program you want to pin to the task bar. From there you will see a group of options. Just press Pin to Taskbar and you're done.

Question

How do you see, remove and add contacts to the taskbar?

Community Answer

Right click your taskbar, and choose "Show People on the taskbar" to show contacts. Once you enable it, click on the icon of two people. If you have already created a contact you can skip the next step. To create a new contact, click on the three dots ••• and click "New contact". Fill in the credentials like name, phone number, etc. To pin the contact, choose "Find and pin contacts". Now choose a contact you'd like to pin. To remove a contact, right click on the profile picture of the contact, and click "Unpin from taskbar". To remove the People icon, right click on the taskbar and remove the check on "Show People on the taskbar".
