How do I remove titles from Windows 10 taskbar and keep icons only

In my Windows 10 Pro I got icons and titles on taskbar. But I want to have icons only (like at the bottom on the picture).

Is there an option for this?

Right click on the taskbar and select Properties. Where it says Taskbar buttons, you want to set it to Always combine, hide labels.

Properties

Result:

Taskbar


On Windows 10: Right click taskbar -> choose Taskbar settings.

Make sure the left menu option highlights "Taskbar". Find "Show badges on taskbar buttons". Turn it to off.

In addition select from the "Combine taskbar buttons" drop down the "Always hide labels" option.

You now only have icons on the task bar.
