How to open the taskbar settings in Windows 10
Obviously, the first thing you will have to do in order to be able to customize the way your taskbar looks and works, is to open its settings. To do that quickly, right click or tap and hold on any empty space from the taskbar, and then click or tap on Settings.

This will open the Settings app and automatically take you to the Taskbar section of the Personalization category of settings.

Of course, you can get to the taskbar settings also by opening the Settings app and then go to Personalization -> Taskbar.
How to change the location of the taskbar
Although by default, the taskbar in Windows 10 is located on the bottom of the screen, you can choose to place it on any of the other margins. In order to change the location of your taskbar, scroll the list of available Taskbar settings until you find an option called "Taskbar location on screen".
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
You can select to place the taskbar on the left, right, top or bottom of your screen. Choose what you prefer from this menu and Windows 10 will move the taskbar immediately, without asking for additional confirmation.
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
You should know that you can also simply drag and drop the taskbar to the place where you want it on your desktop. However, for that to work, you must first unlock it from the Taskbar settings.

How to resize the taskbar in Windows 10
After you've unlocked the taskbar, you will also be able to resize it, as you would resize any other window. Hover over the upper margin until you see the "resize" cursor appear and then drag the margin up or down. Note that the taskbar has minimum and maximum values beyond which it can't be dragged/resized.

How to set the taskbar to automatically hide itself in Windows 10
You might prefer not to see the taskbar on your desktop. If that's the case, you can set it to automatically hide. Hiding your taskbar means that it won't be visible until you hover your mouse pointer over the area where it's hidden. And then, when you do that, the taskbar slides into view. Once you move away from it, it will hide again.
To make your taskbar automatically hide when you're using your Windows 10 computer in desktop mode, turn on the switch that says: "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode".
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
Hiding the taskbar makes more room on your desktop, and that's something quite important if you're using a small screen like that from a tablet or a hybrid 2-in-1 device. If you want that, enable the setting that says "Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode".

How to customize the buttons from the taskbar
By default, Windows 10 displays large buttons on the taskbar. However, for some people, they might simply feel too big.
If you prefer smaller and more subtle buttons on your taskbar, you can set Windows 10 to "Use small taskbar buttons".
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
Using small buttons will make your taskbar feel a bit less obtrusive, as it will also decrease its width.

How to select which icons appear on the Windows 10 taskbar
The right side of the taskbar is the place where you get notifications from the Action Center, it's the place where you can see what date and time it is, and it's also the place where you see a whole range of icons for various system options and for apps that are installed on your Windows 10 computer or device. That's why, this part of the taskbar is also known as the notification area. Fortunately, this is something you can control, as Windows 10 offers you the option to select exactly what icons are displayed here.
If you want to customize the icons that appear on your taskbar, check this guide in which we've covered this subject in detail: How to set which icons are shown in Windows 10's notification area.

How to pin items to the Windows 10 taskbar
You probably have some apps, programs or other tools that you use often and, as such, you want to have speedy access to them. A good way to make that happen is to pin those items to the taskbar.
If you want to pin an item from the Start Menu to the taskbar, right click or tap and hold on its icon or shortcut and then click or tap on "Pin to taskbar" option from the More submenu.

How to show or hide Cortana's search box from the taskbar
By default, Windows 10 shows a large search box on the taskbar that you can use, obviously, to search for things on your PC and on the internet. If you enabled Cortana, this is also one of the places in which she is present and you can interact with her.
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
However, if you feel that this search box is taking too much space from your taskbar, you can either replace the search box with a simple icon, or even disable it completely. To do that, right click or tap and hold on an empty space of the taskbar, hover your cursor or click on Cortana, and then choose what you want: "Show search box", "Show Cortana icon" or set it "Hidden" from view.

Besides Cortana's presence on the taskbar, the Task View button is another novelty of Windows 10, about which we've talked in detail here: How to create, use and remove virtual desktops in Windows 10. There are, however, some people who might not be so thrilled about the virtual desktops feature and might prefer to get rid of the Task View button from the taskbar.

To remove Task View from your taskbar, right click or tap and hold on any empty space from the taskbar, and then deselect the option "Show Task View button".

The default toolbar choices are:

How to remove toolbars from the taskbar
If you don't want to see a particular toolbar from your taskbar, you can remove it. Right click or press and hold on an empty space from the taskbar, click or hover over Toolbars, and then uncheck the toolbar you want to hide.
Items that you have added will disappear; default items on the list will just un-check so that if you change your mind you can add them back.

How to customize the taskbar when using multiple displays
If you have a dual or multi-monitor setup, the taskbar is not displayed on all your screens by default. However, if you want it to show everywhere, you can enable the "Show taskbar on all displays" option from the Multiple displays section of the Taskbar settings. You can also specify whether the buttons on the other taskbars, from the other screens, will combine or not.
taksbar, Windows 10, personalize, configure, set
As a reminder, in order to get to the Taskbar settings, the fastest way is to right-click or tap on a blank space from your taskbar and then click or tap on Settings.
