I suggest you to follow the below steps to end windows explorer task and start it in task manager and check whether the issue persists or not.

• Right click on the “Taskbar” and click on “task manager”.
• Under the “processes” tab locate for “Windows explorer”.
• Right click on it and click on “End task”.
• Then go to “File” option and click on “Run new task”.
• Enter as “explorer.exe” and click on “ok”.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Whenever I roll my mouse over the system buttons on my taskbar, like cortana, task view or notifications buttons it flickers off immediately.

I've already already tried those things, and also I tried resetting the icons, which changed nothing
