Windows 10: Certain Taskbar icons not displaying

Very recently, my I noticed that my calendar and mail icons were not showing up on the taskbar, even though they were still fully functional. The icons displayed on the search screen or list of apps or microsoft store, just not in the taskbar. If I create a shortcut on my desktop, the image does work there as well. I think the issue may be that I downloaded google drive, decided I did not want it, and uninstalled it. I'm assuming that either google drive messed up the icon display unlikely, or that I messed up with uninstalling far more likely.

Additionally, when I open apps such as settings, or netflix, or itunes, the icons are not working on the taskbar despite proper functionality. I believe it has something to do with apps from microsoft or the microsoft store.

Please let me know if you have any solutions because this issue is very annoying.
