Why is Amazon appearing on my taskbar?

I'm inclined to believe that this is something windows/edge is forcing on users, because I've recently started having Amazon randomly pop up as well on Edge. It shows up exactly how its shown in your picture.

I see. Does the icon appear again? If it does, do not close it so we can check if it is possible to locate it.

I just noticed that your default browser seems to be Chrome. In that case, open it then in your address bar, type chrome://apps/, do you see Amazon listed there?

I see. In that case, you should check if it is listed as an app. Press Windows + R then enter appwiz.cpl and click OK. In the list of apps, try to check if it is there and uninstall it. If it is still not there, would you be able to make it appear again so we can check its location? If not, we may need to wait and see if it shows up again later. If that happens again, open the Task Manager, right-click on the Amazon process > Details > Open file location.

Hi,

It sounds like the website may have been installed as an app. Open Microsoft Edge, click the three dots > More tools > Apps > View apps. Do you see Amazon listed there? If you do, click Details and you should find an option to uninstall it.
