The fact that the taskbar with the programs running is shown in the video suggests that's not the case. Try flipping your machine from regular to Tablet mode and you'll see what I mean.

Matter of fact, I don't have the tablet mode button anymore when I click the notification area, I had to dig a bit deeper to get to it to toggle it. Search>Tablet>Tablet Settings>Change additional tablet settings

If you click the Add button in Edit mode I imagine the Tablet button will be there. I have no idea how/why it would have disappeared. All the things that are actually currently shown should have an unpin icon when in edit mode if you wish to remove them from view by default. Heaven only knows how/when certain changes like this occur for things one doesn't look for often. My Tablet Mode button is visible, but I went through Settings for the toggle myself, having forgotten that a Tablet Mode button even existed in the Action Center!

I removed one, the add button came back but the only choice is the one I removed. I don't need it as I never used it on my desktop.

Its because you only have those quick actions buttons you can add when you remove one you get Add option.

britechguy Well-known member Joined Jun 2, 2016 Posts 772 Location Staunton, VA Oct 26, 2020 #14 Have you tried SFC/DISM and moved on to a Repair Install, if needed, as my original instructions suggest? These are the two least complicated ways to stamp out a wide array of "weird problems" when they pop up in Windows 10.
