The latest iteration of the OS has bought in a plentitude of new and noteworthy features. Likewise, there is a truckload of UI changes this time around as well. Among them, it is the taskbar that has undergone the biggest change. The icons getting centralized, changes to the Start Menu and adjustments to the notification bar are some of the noteworthy ones.

While most of these changes would be welcomed, there are a few components that could be categorized as unnecessary by some users.
