The machine is a very low powered notebook (HP Stream 11) with little 
bulk memory, so I am not really up to trying to build Emacs on it.  I 
will point out that, other than this taskbar problem (which I can work 
around with AHC), Emacs is working well with no surprises.  I was just 
hoping that maybe someone else had already experienced the taskbar issue 
and come up with a solution so I could continue to behave on the 
notebook as I have for years on my (much more competent) Windows 7 and 
8.1 machines.

(BTW - The reason I wanted Emacs on the machine is that it has a touch 
screen, and I have a Python app I would like to to adapt for multitouch 
input.  So I am trying Kivy to support that.  If I get it to work on the 
Windows 10 notebook, then I can also put it on my Android tablet (where 
development capability is way too limited).)
