Is there a way to move the Network icon into the Hidden icons?
There is also a Sound icon I would like to move there as well.

Thanks
Greg

Click to expand...

Not natively! It's a cluster of controls called Control Center that can't be moved or split up!
Completely non-intuitive, in my opinion!



Again, you'd need a 3rd party utility to make it function the way it used to!




(For the sweet love of peace, Microsoft, how many more hundreds of these types of queries must we face before you wake up and smell the coffee!?!?!?)

assuming that you're talking about the taskbar... like @Edwin stated, no. you can replace the taskbar and allow those icons to be separated as they used to be though.

A few options to allow this:
StartAllBack
ExplorerPatch
