How can I show or hide icons in the taskbar corner overflow in Windows 11? Microsft has changed almost everything in the system tray, in the start menu and in the notification area of the Windows 11 operating system. You can still customize these parts of the operating system, but there are a few major changes. In earlier versions of Windows (up to Windows 10), the icons in the lower-right corner of the system tray were called the notification area or system tray icons. But under Windows 11, Microsoft renamed this area to Taskbar corner overflow.
On the taskbar corner overflow, you can see icons for File Explorer, Internet, Antivirus, Microsoft OneDrive, Battery Status, etc. Windows 11 allows you to customize the icons in the Windows 11 tray area (taskbar corner overflow). You can add icons or remove them from the overflow icons on the system tray or the system tray as needed.
