Where is the Win 8.1 taskbar organization in Win10?

[Real_David]

I've found lots of **** "solutions" when searching for this, from downloading 1MB large "blank icons", to a specific taskbar program from a TP, all the way to "answers" that aren't responding to my question.

Now I am no way smarter. So I ask here at microsoft in the windows forum:


Win 8.1 clearly separated 3 areas at the screen bottom, let's call it taskbar. From left to right:

- pinned program icons which would always stay there

- wide program icons showing which are running

- tray icons


- Plus, in the left area, the permanently pinned program icons, was a divider (minimum one), to further organize pinned programs.

- Plus, I could click those icons again, to open as many program instances as I needed.


Where is this formerly brilliant screen estate organization and functionality in Win10?


My very recently installed (read fresh) Win10 (paid, no worries) is a mess instead. Plus, It "loses" icons at will, in the tray area.

I will try to include a screenshot proof of the mess here:





Does anyone of you remember how well this was done in Win8.1?

Did you get that back somehow in Win10?

Mind to share?
