How do I get traditional icons on taskbar? How do I get rid of Copilot?

To get traditional icons on the taskbar in Windows, you can customize the taskbar settings. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Pin Apps: You can pin traditional applications to the taskbar. Right-click on the application you want to pin and select "Pin to taskbar."
2. Taskbar Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar to customize the appearance and behavior of the taskbar.
3. Use Taskbar Layout Modification: If you are deploying on multiple devices, you can use the Taskbar Layout Modification XML method to specify the layout and icons you want to appear on the taskbar.

Unfortunately, there is no direct method to revert to older icon styles as Windows has evolved its interface. However, customizing the pinned applications can help achieve a more traditional look.

If you want to remove Copilot, you would typically look for options in the taskbar settings or application settings, depending on how it is integrated into your system.

Hi,

Are you the one who sets the Windows 10 taskbar icon?

Thanks

The icons for the Office apps changed in a recent update. There is no simple way to change them back. (Of course, what is "simple" will depend on your experiences with "hacking" settings in Windows. Windows sites may provide assistance with some useful "hacks.")

Regarding Copilot, you should be able to switch to a classic subscription that does not include Copilot. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/switching-to-microsoft-365-personal-and-family-classic-plans-58342e83-38e7-4cda-b63b-88604a8fb7ef .
