    Uninstalling or removing the Taskbar Overflow menu in Windows isn't a straightforward process because it's a built-in feature designed to manage icons when the taskbar is full. However, you can disable or hide the overflow menu by adjusting settings or using certain tweaks.

    1. Right-click on the taskbar and select "Taskbar settings."
    2. In the Taskbar settings, you can turn off or toggle off icons for apps you don’t want to appear on the taskbar, which will reduce the overflow.
    3. To manage individual app icons:
      • Open Settings > Personalization > Taskbar.
      • Under Taskbar corner overflow, toggle "Automatically hide" or "Show always" for specific icons.
  • Right-click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.

    Under Taskbar items and Pinned icons, remove some icons or disable some features so fewer icons are added.

    Also, in Taskbar behaviors, you can toggle Automatically hide the taskbar or reduce icon size to free space.
