Aaron,

         What's interesting in Windows 10, at least the part of the interface 
that follows the new format, is that the object you describe is neither a 
button nor a checkbox, but a relatively recent addition to the GUI pantheon 
known as a slider switch.  It behaves, as you note, exactly like a checkbox and 
has the states of "On" or "Off."

         I don't know if either of the following ways of getting to the "Select 
which icons appear on the taskbar" settings would be faster and/or easier than 
the method you've already offered, but I thought I'd mention both of them.You 
can enter "select icons" as the search criteria in the Cortana/Windows Search 
box and the only thing returned from the search is the "Select which icons 
appear on the taskbar" icon.If you happen to be in Settings already, using 
"select icons" in the search box inside the Settings dialog also returns only 
the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" icon.

At that point I'd imagine a single Tab would land you on that search result to 
activate it and tweak the setting for showing all icons to which you've already 
referred.
