I am not a big fan of the 'pinnable' taskbar feature that was introduced in Windows 7 and which has carried through to Windows 10.

I tend to customise back to classic taskbar items. However, in Windows 10 there seems to be default items (Microsoft Edge and File Explorer) pinned which cannot be removed (normally which I do through a right click -> Unpin):

Is it possible to remove these?

EDIT:

Right clicking produces a menu with no 'unpin' options. I also do not have Edge or File Explorer running:

Whilst I see that you have tried to right click, the Unpin option is available for me when I right-click:

Windows 10 People Icon

I have tried this in Win 10 Enterprise RTM. Edge is running, with a couple of tabs open.

• What version of Win10 are you running?
• Can you try same again with Edge running and a few pages open? (long shot)

This also 'works on my machine' for unpinning folder explorer too:

August 12th... I can't right click on any icons in the taskbar. I currently have the search icon, File Explorer icon, Firefox, Chrome, CCleaner, and 'Edge'... no menus appear for any of them. I will never use Edge or whatever the latest incarnation of IE is. No unpin option, no menu at all. Just installed Win10 last night.

edit: Restarted, turns out there were updates I was unaware of. I am able to pin and unpin as usual... problem is fixed.
