Microsoft has added a new group policy in Windows 10 20H2 that allows you to disable a new feature that customizes the taskbar based on what accounts or devices you have.
In the Windows 10 Insider Build 20161, Microsoft introduced a new feature called "Programmable Taskbar" that customizes the Windows 10 taskbar when logging into an account for the first time.
For those who wish to always use the default Windows 10 taskbar, Microsoft has introduced a new group policy called 'Turn off cloud optimized content' that allows you to disable the Programmable Taskbar feature.
Below we have provided ways to enable this policy for Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home.
New accounts will now use the default Windows 10 taskbar.
