Windows – right-click to get the taskbar menu when the taskbar is full

context menutaskbarwindows 10

On Window 10, I want to right-click on the taskbar to get the taskbar menu — usually I do this by right-clicking on an empty space on the taskbar. However, where can I click when my taskbar is completely full of icons for open programs and there is no open space on the taskbar?

If I right click on any of the program icons, I get the "Pin to taskbar/Close/etc." menu. Where can I right-click to bring up the Taskbar menu (i.e., the one with Toolbars, Task Manager, Taskbar settings, etc.)

Best Answer

There are two places you can right-click on a full taskbar to get the taskbar menu:

  1. the taskbar clock
  2. the taskbar up arrow (looks like ^ and shows hidden icons)
