Struggling to remove apps from your taskbar in Windows 10? Whether the option is disappearing or just not responding, this guide offers two straightforward methods to get the job done.
Right-click an app icon (e.g. Snipping Tool) on taskbar, and choose Unpin this program from taskbar in the menu. That's it! This is the quickest and most common way to remove a pinned app.

Step 1: Press Windows+F to open the search box in Start Menu, type the name of the program you want to remove from taskbar and find it in the result.

Step 2: Right-click the app and select Unpin from taskbar in the pop-up list.

If neither method works, a quick restart of File Explorer often resolves the issue:
Step 1: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
Step 2: Under Processes, find Windows Explorer, right-click it, and select Restart.
Step 3: Once restarted, try unpinning again via either method above.
