Dot I have no idea what or where the M symbol came from but you'll need to edit the address that shortcut goes to.
Can you right click on the M & select Properties & then SHORTCUT then change the target to that address I gave you?

Down the bottom where sites are eg f book icon,chrome icon, mozilla thunderbird etc . I did the right click on the M but it came up Tasks.
start in private browsing.
M gmail
Unpin from taskbar
X close task bar
Now the M has gone from down the bottom of screen.
Think I am getting lost more than usual :lol:

Dottie,
Try deleting the M app and reinstalling it before messing about with the app settings. 🤞
Regards & God bless,

Hi Dot,

Depending on your windows version, go to the search/find and type in Gmail. It should bring up the application to start. On my PC, Windows 10, the little window is at the bottom left corner.

Jd I have no idea of what you speak BUT if I click onto the www link Bruce put up it opens the gmail but not if I click on the M symbol that I have always used. Think I shall go down the street tomorrow and ask a young person to fix it using your words "cache" :D
