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.
