I should have mentioned, but it is not an icon that was pinned to the taskbar. It just appears by itself and pressing end task removes it from the taskbar
Why is Amazon appearing on my taskbar?

This week an Amazon icon started appearing in my taskbar, pressing it just opens an amazon.de tab in Edge. How do I stop amazon from appearing in my taskbar?

It happened to me this morning, only thing I remember doing recently is downloading a mediafire pdf file, but that was yesterday, then I shutted down my computer and today it started appearing.

2026-05-28T06:04:19.04+00:00 The Amazon icon is just a pinned shortcut on the taskbar. It can be removed the same way as any other pinned app or website.
To stop it appearing:
- Move the mouse over the Amazon icon on the taskbar.
- Right‑click the Amazon icon.
- Select Unpin from taskbar.
If the icon came from a website pinned by Microsoft Edge, unpinning it from the taskbar is enough; it will no longer reappear unless pinned again.
If the icon is in the notification area (system tray) instead of the main taskbar row, it can be hidden:
- Right‑click an empty area of the taskbar and choose Taskbar settings.
- Under Notification area, select Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
- Turn Off for the Amazon (or related) icon so it no longer shows.
