New to Windows 10
« on: August 24, 2016, 06:08:54 AM »
This afternoon I bought a new laptop and yes it's Windows 10. I got this after I installed avast and used the software updater (see attachment). By the way, what to do if I want to let windows 10 show the avast icon in the bottom right hand corner? Thanks.

Did you click on your hidden icons?     If so, I don't know why it wouldn't show in your task bar.

Edit: typo

yes i did click on the hidden icons. In windows 7 you can customize the hidden icons and make the hidden icons show next to the battery icon,wireless icon, and the sound icon (as shown in the attachment).

You can do it in W10 also, they option just have been moved to another place.
Right click the taskbar > settings > select which icons appear on the taskbar

Even easier to open the hidden icons and simply drag an icon to the taskbar then it's pinned automatically.
