I am not a big fan of the "pinnable" taskbar feature that was introduced in Windows 7 and which has carried through to Windows 10.
I tend to customise back to classic taskbar items. However, in Windows 10 there seems to be default items (Microsoft Edge and File Explorer) pinned which cannot be removed (normally which I do through a right click -> Unpin):
Is it possible to remove these?
EDIT:
Right clicking produces a menu with no "unpin" options. I also do not have Edge or File Explorer running:
Whilst I see that you have tried to right click, the Unpin option is available for me when I right-click:
I have tried this in Win 10 Enterprise RTM.
Edge is running, with a couple of tabs open.
What version of Win10 are you running?
Can you try same again with Edge running and a few pages open? (long shot)
This also "works on my machine" for unpinning folder explorer too:
August 12th... I can't right click on any icons in the taskbar. I currently have the search icon, File Explorer icon, Firefox, Chrome, CCleaner, and "Edge"... no menus appear for any of them. I will never use Edge or whatever the latest incarnation of IE is. No unpin option, no menu at all. Just installed Win10 last night.
edit: Restarted, turns out there were updates I was unaware of. I am able to pin and unpin as usual... problem is fixed.

I am running the latest version of GNOME and Wayland on my Manjaro computer. When I connect my second monitor and extend my display, one screen flickers and the mouse icon leaves a trail, with a black background. However, I can still open applications and drag them to the second screen, which works fine. Mirror mode for two screens works great. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
After trying some more things, it seems everything except the background is working, the bottom bar is working, when i press super key it will take me to menu where I can move.
When I try to screenshot the buggy monitor it just screenshots the normal background. (The background picture)
I tried updating GNOME and Wayland, also tried to update the whole system with pacman -Syu to no avail. Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.

For the past few days in my kali linux machine, the home screen is appearing entirely blank. All the files that were save there is not showing and the floating dock is not appearing like before when i move my cursor to the left. I searched stackexchange and saw that I have to modify some settings in tweak. But I cannot change a thing is tweak. Here is how it appears.
and this is how the extension region of Tweak appears.
Please help, what to do. As I am having a lot of problems due to the dock missing from the side, and all the desktop icons removed. (though i can access them via files).
In the tweaks program, turn the following extensions on: Dash to dock, Desktop icons.
Dash to dock is the left sidebar.
Desktop icons extension shows the files on the desktop.

I can't seem to find anything specific for windows 10. I can search for the above title and it searches for everything with the word "Make" in it so it returns generic keyboard on/off settings adjustment.
My question is if there's a way to make a singular keyboard key sleep/wake the computer. No mouse, not the whole keyboard, just 1 button. Is that possible?
To put your computer into sleep mode, you can do windows + X, chord into U and then chord into S.
I don't think it would be possible to assign one specific key to wake your computer though, at least not with the default system settings. I guess the reason for that is that when your PC goes to sleep, it is set to react to any input rather than process the input and filter specific keys, most likely for power usage reason (usually why you put your computer to sleep).
It should be possible to write a program to change that behavior, but I don't think anyone has done it yet (or have published it).
Keys can be remapped using
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.
There are enough guides for this to go around, plus some tools (e.g. SharpKeys) to automate this entirely.
You can prevent devices from being able to wake up the computer by disabling "allow this device to wake the computer" in Device Manager:
SharpKeys lists E0_63 as Fn/Wake button, but I have not tested how this interacts with above option.
With the above combined, computer would go to sleep at a press of a single (remapped) button and wake up only by pressing the Power button.

I have a dual monitor setup, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I have changed the positioning of the monitors several times, and now for some reason some of the windows open up off-screen (outside of both screens), Update Manager, for instance.
How can I position the windows on one of my screens?
You can get the window back on your screen by using
ALT + spacebar
This would show you the maximize/minimize/ ... options. Click maximize and it would occupy your screen.
You can also hit "move" and then either your mouse or arrow keys to move the window to your current window.
Be sure to have the off-screen window selected (use Alt-Tab or Super-W for example). Then hold Alt+F7 and move the window with the cursor keys until it appears in the viewport.
When this happens to me the hidden window is usually below the screen (I occasionally use two screens with one on top of the other, a setup that agrees well with a laptop on a desk). If you use Super-W to select the window, you can guess where it is by looking at the animations. Holding Alt+F7+Up brings the window into view for me.
I made a little script to fix a similiar bug I have in ubuntu 15.04 with two screens: https://github.com/mezga0153/offscreen-window-restore
The script makes use of the wmctrl command line tool to find the offscreen windows and then uses wmctrl to place each one back into a visible area.
