What is an Taskbar?
The Windows 10 taskbar is at the bottom of the screen and lets you get to the Start Menu and the icons of your most-used programs. On the right side of the Taskbar is the Notification Area, which shows the user things like the status of their Internet connection or how much power their laptop battery has left.
The icons in the middle of the Taskbar are for programs that are “pinned,” which is a way to get to programs you use often quickly. When you “pin” an app to the Taskbar, it will stay there until you “unpin” it.
