Items unpinned from taskbar are back after restart/sign out on Windows 10

 From Items unpinned from taskbar are back after restart/sign out on Windows 10 - Super User


I have got a new installation of windows recently. Now when I do unpin items from taskbar that were there (IE, Edge, Explorer), they do come back after restart. A pinned chrome does not disappear though e.g.

Anything to fix this issue?

P.S. Just created a new user, and he has the same problem

P.P.S. Sign out is enough to get it back, no full restart needed







    (...)

I had the same problem. Nothing works.

Finally, I found the XML file in my profile:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml

The items were listed here in this section:

  </DefaultLayoutOverride>
    <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection PinListPlacement="Replace">
    <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
      <taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
-- items were here - removed
      </taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
    </defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
  </CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>

Maybe this will help someone.
