The Windows 10 Taskbar

 - The Taskbar is the strip that runs at the bottom of your screen. Here, as well as the Start Menu and the Cortana search box, you will find a list of your currently running programs, and any quick-launch programs you have added. The taskbar looks like this:

If you use a program a lot, you can add it to the taskbar as a quick-launch icon. To start the program, you can then click its icon on the taskbar instead of searching for it on the start menu.
To add a program to the Quick Launch area, you can right click the program in the start menu. You'll then another menu appear. This one:
Adding a program to the taskbar
Select More from the menu above, then Pin to taskbar from the submenu. You'll then a new icon appear on the taskbar. In the image below, we've pinned a piece of software called NetBeans to the task bar (the blue cube on the end):

Notice that when a piece of software is open, it is highlighted more than the others that are pinned to the taskbar. It also has a blue underline.
If you want to remove a Quick Launch icon on the taskbar, right click the icon and select Unpin from taskbar:

One option you can set is to preview your open apps. When you move your mouse over that app, you'll see the preview appear:

This behaviour, however, is not set by default, and you'll see how to do that now when we explore Taskbar settings.
