How to hide the 'Task View' button on Windows 11

This feature helps you to manage your system in a simpler way. However, not everyone has the need to access Task View often. If you are also among them, you can remove / hide this Task View button icon to optimize the space of the taskbar. How to do it is very simple.

Hide the Task View icon on the Windows 11 taskbar

To remove the Task View icon from the taskbar area on Windows 11, you just need to do the following simple steps:

First, navigate down to the taskbar area at the bottom of the screen and right-click the Task View icon (it looks like two stacked squares). Immediately, an options menu will appear, click ' Hide From Taskbar '.

The Task View icon will immediately disappear from the taskbar.

Alternatively, you can also disable the Task View button from the taskbar from Windows Settings. First, access the Windows Settings menu (press Windows + i ) and navigate to Personalization > Taskbar . In the ' Taskbar Items ' section, click the toggle switch to the right of the ' Ask View ' option to switch it to ' Off '.

After that, close Settings and you will see that the Task View button is no longer on the taskbar. Of course, you can still see the Task View at any time by pressing Windows + Tab on your keyboard.

Show the Task View button again on the Windows 11 taskbar

If you change your mind and want the Task View icon to reappear on your taskbar, right-click the taskbar and select ' Taskbar Settings '.
