Remove Chrome's Most Visited Icon on Taskbar (not the tabs)
It's very easy to remove the "recent visited" crap from your Win10 taskbar icons.
Just go to Settings>>Personalization>>Start and uncheck "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the Taskbar", this should be the last optinon with an on/off switch on this page.
Omkar Sawant provided the following answer at Google Product Forums:
- Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu.
Click the Start Menu tab, and then do one of the following:
To prevent recently opened programs from appearing in the Start menu, clear the Store and display recently opened programs in the Start menu check box.
To clear recently opened files in the Jump Lists on the taskbar and Start menu, clear the Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar check box.
Click OK.
