Small changes help slow Windows computers speed up significantly
When you first bought your computer, it booted up in seconds and ran like a dream. But things have changed over time.
Installing Windows on a Mac using the official Boot Camp Assistant software is certainly the easiest and best way of installing Windows on a Mac computer. In addition to the fact that it’s extremely easy to use and setup, when you install Windows using Boot Camp, Windows and apps will have full access to the hardware unlike virtual machines. Get the Boot Camp icon in the Taskbar
After installing Windows on Mac using Boot Camp, you need to install the Boot Camp drivers in order to get trackpad and other features working.
With default settings, Boot Camp sits in the system tray area of taskbar and lets you quickly access Boot Camp Control Panel which in turn allows you change default start up disk and a couple of keyboard and trackpad settings. The other advantage of having Boot Camp icon in the system tray is that you can quickly reboot into Mac OS X by right-clicking on the Boot Camp icon and then clicking Restart in OS X option.
But if for some reason, the Boot Camp icon is missing from the system tray area and it used to appear when you had installed Boot Camp for the first time, you can follow the given below instructions to add the same to system tray in Windows.
Method 1:

(Scroll down for previous Windows versions)
Step 1: Open the Settings app. Navigate to Personalization > Taskbar.
Step 2: In the Notification area section, click Select which icons appear on taskbar link.

For Windows 8/8.1
Step 1: Click on the small up arrow icon in the system tray (see picture ) to see hidden icons and then click Customize option.
Step 2: Scroll down the list to see if Boot Camp Manager entry is present. If Boot Camp Manager is exist, set its behaviour to Show icon and notifications by selecting the same from the drop down menu. And if Boot Camp icon doesn’t exist there, follow the instructions mentioned in Method 2.

If you are on Windows 10/8.1:
Step 1: Open Task Manger by right-clicking on the empty space of the taskbar and then clicking Task Manager option.
