With the respective Windows 10 update to April 2018, the guys at Microsoft have made several changes that some users may not like because they were used to it differently. One of the most striking, especially if we work with many directories at the same time, is the shortcut to task view.
Microsoft has changed the icon located to the right of Cortana that allowed us to interact between the desks, for one called Task View, a button that allows us to switch between directories in a much faster way than before. But at the same time, it also enables us to open the last documents that we have opened on each of the desktops, since it shows us a history of them.

But if you need minimize the number of icons displayed on the taskbar, The best thing you can do is remove this icon, as long as your thing is not working with desktops, since otherwise you will waste much more time changing the desktop using keyboard shortcuts than using the mouse.
To deactivate the Task View button, we must position ourselves above the button and click the right mouse button, so that a context menu where all the alternatives are shown that we have at our disposal to customize the taskbar.
We just have to look for the Show Task View button option and click on it with the left mouse button to make it disappear completely. If we change our mind, we can click anywhere on the taskbar again and choose that option again by clicking the Show task view button.
As you can see, it is very simple and fast that does not need great knowledge.
