    PowerModeWatcher in taskbar


    Hi,Since a few days I see an icon in my taskbar from PowerModeWatcher. I have a regular PC which does not use a battery to work. Why is that icon appearing in my taskbar each time, and how can I stop it from appearing?MichelPS. Do answer in English, and not in Dutch. I am perfectly able to communicate in English, better than you using Bing translate.

    :)

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.
