How to Remove the Chat Icon using Group Policy (GPO)

 In this guide, I will show you how to remove the chat icon using Group Policy from the Windows 11 taskbar. On domain-joined computers with Active Directory setup, it is easy to remove the chat icon using a GPO.


On a Windows 11 PC, by default, Chat icon is pinned to the taskbar. Along with it, you will find Windows Search, Task View and Widgets. When you install Windows 11 or upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11, most users prefer to hide this chat icon.


Although the users can hide chat icon from taskbar manually, but on active directory domain joined computers, you can deploy a group policy to remove the chat icon from the taskbar on Windows 11.
