Windows 10: clock system icon is greyed out in taskbar settings

After the previous update I noticed that the clock icon is missing from the taskbar. So I went to `Taskbar Settings > Turn System icons on or off`. But I am not able to turn on the system icon for clock and action center since it is greyed out. I tried solutions from internet like removing `registers` and restarting `explorer.exe`. But none worked can someone help my OS version is 1909.

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.

 

Battery/Power icon in taskbar not displaying / System Icon greyed out

I recently upgraded my Gateway laptop to Windows 10 from Windows 7. The battery/power icon in the taskbar randomly does not display. I've verified that the Power setting in the Turn System Icons On or Off screen is set to On. However, when the icon does
not display, this setting is greyed out, so I couldn't even toggle it on/off to see if that would make the icon appear. I've not found anything in particular that makes the icon appear (or disappear for that matter).

My account is set up as an administrator, which I've read may have some control over accessing certain system icon settings. So I'm not sure why this setting is sometimes greyed out.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what may cause the battery/power icon to not display in the taskbar and/or why this system icon setting is greyed out?

Thanks in advance.

 

Windows Taskbar Calendar not Working

Hi,

It's really odd for an update/s to cause an issue to a computer since they were made to enhance the performance of its system and to fix the bugs/glitches. Let just say that a conflict on your system files are the one that causing the issue from the last
update. Let's see if turning on and off the the clock in the system icon menu will make a difference. Follow these steps to do so:

• Right click on the Taskbar, then choose Taskbar settings.
• Scroll down to Notification area, then click on Turn system icons on or off.
• Toggle the Clock icon off, then close the Settings menu.
• Repeat steps #1-#3 to toggle on the Clock icon on.

Once done, check if you'll be able to pull up the Calendar on the taskbar.

We're looking forward to your feedback.
