In this tutorial, we remove Chat, Search, Task View and Widgets icons from the Windows 11 taskbar. These icons appear on new installations of Windows 11, and cannot be removed by directly right clicking upon them. In this video, we selectively remove one or more of the icons, and demonstrate how to re-enable them. Taking a further step, we also take action to prevent Microsoft Teams from launching at Startup, before advancing yet further to entirely remove Teams from our device.
