Can we have a visual for download progress from taskbar icon ?

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

The instructions provided in the link you shared are generally correct for removing the Xbox app icon from the taskbar in Windows 10. Here is a summary of the steps:

Right-click on the Xbox app icon in the taskbar and select "Unpin from taskbar". This will remove the icon from the taskbar.

Open the Xbox app from the Start menu or the Windows Store.

Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the app to open the settings.

In the settings, toggle off the "Show me as playing" option.

Close the Xbox app.

These steps should remove the Xbox app icon from the taskbar and prevent it from reappearing. However, please keep in mind that by disabling the 'show me as playing' feature will prevent your friends from seeing what games you are currently playing or when you were last active.

To open the Start menu, which contains all of your apps, settings, and files, you can do the following: At the far left or center of the taskbar, select the Start icon. Note: Taskbar settings determine where the taskbar is located.

Thanks for the many contributions and finally, I figured out how to get this Xbox icon removed from the Taskbar... permanently!

Im not sure if you get a product key if you download a game from the store, it should show up as ready to install? If you click on the first link and then click on games, what happens?

For me I see

To find apps and games on your PC:

1. On your taskbar, select the Microsoft Store icon, then select More info up by your account picture.
2. Select My Library. Any app or game with a Download icon next to it hasn't been downloaded yet. Select the Download icon to download and install the app or game.

That is a very reasonable statement, Aleks. Thank you for pointing that out.

B U T .......if you check ANY other download content that comes out before it actually has something to release, you get a visual confirmation that the Pass or Expansion or whatever it is WAS received, visual confirmation it WAS installed. For example I
purchased the PREMIUM content for Battlefield Hardline.....nothing from that yet to release but we still got the little icon telling us it was received and installed. On this Witcher Expansion Pass we got nothing...... Makes me a little nervous........
