Icon in the taskbar - common parameters of Dell

I have a new 3847 Dell Inspiron running Windows 10.  An icon appeared in the taskbar that I can't do anything with except mouseover that shows 'Dell common parameters.  It looks like a white gear on blue background.    Can someone tell me what it is?   I doesn't seem to be something that I can say - another aggravated me!  Appreciate any ideas about its purpose.

I just removed by uninstalling the Dell Foundation Services program. I have no idea of what he has done, but it has now disappeared.

  • 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

    With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

    After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
    DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

    Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

  • Its icon on the taskbar is not displayed

    Hello!

    Just today my laptop does not show an icon on the taskbar sound as it usually does. If you see in the right corner it usually an icon of the right? but mine is gone?
    Can you help me how to get it back?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    You can still hear sound on speakers? If so the only problem could be the disabled sound icon in the taskbar. Therefore, go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification icons of the region. Make sure that the volume icon is not disabled and it will always be displayed in the taskbar.

    If you can t hear you should check the Device Manager. The sound card is listed in the Device Manager?
    If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the audio driver no doubt. You can download the driver from his most recent official website of Toshiba:

  • Pavilion P6207c: Hp mediasmart empty icon in the taskbar and icon missing in hp dock

    I restarted my computer and my HP Mediasmart icon in the taskbar is empty, when I click on it windows says it can't open because that its been moved, renamed or deleted. But the show task up if I right click on it like watch a dvd, listen to mp3's, see, modify or download photos, see modify or download videos. (all links in the task too much work) Then trying to understand the problem, that I thought I could basically icon/link to pull a bit of my HP Dock in the taskbar hoping it would be duplicate and appear in the taskbar. But to the contrary after leaving the dock and release the mouse button, it disappeared. How do I trouble the white icon and pick up the other icon in the dock? I pulled the HP Mediasmart icon directory .exe file and it is stuck in the dock, but it works the same. The original had an arrow below and if I clicked it, a drop-down list with all tasks would come down. With that I pulled from the directory that I have to click on it and then a new bar appears with different icons for each task.

    Well I solved the problem with the taskbar, I downloaded the hp mediasmart smartmenu, went into the directory and PIN to the taskbar. But I still can't one of the docking station will work as before.

    @enimen2 ,

    Hi and thanks again for the rear display.  If you can do it is no longer a restoration following options is a complete recovery of the system, return to the original configuration.  You want to back up all your information before you do.  Once it starts it will wipe your system clean.

    Here is a link that will help you to recovery.

  • Flahsing Excel icon on the taskbar

    I use the report generation tool.  When I open and close a workbook, the flahses of excel icon in the taskbar.  How can I get rid of this?  Thank you!

    You can set the 'visible' reference applications Excel to "False".

    I generally do not use screws report generation, so I hope that you need to change one that opens the reference app Excel and save it under a different name.  I almost always interact with Excel directly using ActiveX, so I do not know what VI you will have to change.

  • Advertising, freezing the icons on the taskbar

    I have a laptop G7. I get this pop up telling me I need to upgrade to flash player pro. I click it off and then it freezes the icons on the taskbar. Those on the office work. I have the icon of chrome from google on this subject or I couldn't get to internet. Any ideas on how to stop this. I can restart the computer and it isn't there and they work until I get on the internet and it appears again and then he freezer them again. I don't want or need the pro version.

    Hi nana4c,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it's a great place to find answers. You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that, after connecting to the Internet, you get a popup telling you that you need to update Flash Player Pro and you click out of it.  Once you have done this, freeze your task bar icons, but continue to work your desktop icons. You have Google Chrome on your desktop and are able to access the Internet after that happens.

    What browser do you initially use to access the Internet?  Try starting with one another, if you do not have the same problem, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall this browser at the origin of the problem.

    If you get the same result with another browser, try the following steps.

    Go to the command prompt and do a right click on it and select run as administrator

    Type sfc/scannow, and then press on enter

    It will look for corrupted files and try to fix them.

    I hope this has helped.
