  1. Can't click some of the icons in the taskbar


    Hi,Good Day! I would like to ask why I can't click some of the icons in the taskbar such as wi-fi, battery, action center, volume mixer, the start bar or search anything. It happens after the last update. I already tried to revert the update but the issue still occurs. Also, I can right-click and can open some icons like volume mixer, and power options, and I can open pinned icons like Chrome and File Explorer which has a laggy start-up, but that's about it. How do I fix this?Thank you and regards.

    :)

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
