About this tag
The hidden icons menu in Windows 11, also known as the system tray overflow, lets you manage which background app icons appear on the taskbar. By using taskbar overflow settings, you can reduce visual clutter by hiding less frequently used icons behind a small arrow button. This feature helps keep the taskbar clean and organized without uninstalling any software. You can customize which icons are always visible and which are hidden, making it easier to focus on active tasks.
