0Here's how to remove Up/Down arrow in Taskbar and show all icons on Windows.
Here are the steps on how to remove the Up/Down arrow in the Taskbar and show all icons on Windows:
1. Right-click on an empty space on the Taskbar.
2. Select "Taskbar settings".
3. Under "Taskbar corner overflow", toggle the switch to "On" for all of the apps that you want to show on the Taskbar.
4. Click "Apply" and then "OK".
This will remove the Up/Down arrow from the Taskbar and show all of the icons for the apps that you have enabled.
Here are some additional tips:
* You can also drag and drop app icons from the Taskbar corner overflow to the main part of the Taskbar to make them always visible.
* If you have too many icons on the Taskbar, you can resize the Taskbar by dragging the top edge of it up or down.
* You can also hide the Taskbar altogether by right-clicking on it and selecting "Hide taskbar". To show the Taskbar again, move your mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen.
i. The up arrow on the taskbar is called the **overflow arrow**. It is used to show hidden icons in the notification area. When you click on the overflow arrow, it will open a menu that contains all of the hidden icons. You can then click on an icon to open the associated app.
You can also right-click on the overflow arrow to open a menu that allows you to hide or show individual icons.
ii. Here are the steps on how to turn off taskbar labels in Windows 10:

4. Click "Apply" and then "OK".
This will turn off taskbar labels and only show the icons for your open apps.

* You can also use the keyboard shortcut `Windows`+`Z` to turn off taskbar labels.

* You can also use the Group Policy Editor to disable taskbar labels altogether. To do this, open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), navigate to "User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Start Menu and Taskbar", and double-click on the "Prevent grouping of taskbar items" setting. Set the policy to "Enabled" and click "OK".
