I'm trying to remove the Cortana and search icon from the taskbar, but when I right-click on the taskbar I get a incomplete menu. The second photo is what it should look like. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Nylo

I'd wager it's because it's in tablet mode.

Uncheck "Show Cortana Button" and check Search > Hidden

You may be right about the tablet mode. I'll check it out.

I'm unable to uncheck cortina. The first photo is all I have.

Thanks for the reply
