I've installed Office 2016, on a Windows 10 PC All users that logon get Outlook, excel, and word icons in the task bar.

If I remove those icons, and reboot they reappear, even when using a local admin account.
Is Office 2016 doing this Out of the box? I'm very confused, I have no GPO doing it.

I tried rightclick unpin and I also tried deleting them from: %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar both from within an Admin Account. they keep being added on restart.

  • It might be more useful to describe how you remove the icons from the task bar in the first place.

  • Having the same issue here at work. Been trying to figure it out. Drives me crazy because I only have a set amount of space and the icons makes it overflow....every morning.Rest assured, I'm going to figure this out if it kills me.

Try this:

  • Not helpful. As mentioned in the question, they reappear after reboot.
