Magnifying glass icon

Why does the magnifying glass icon keep disappearing from the task bar and how do I get it back (and keep it there)? The last time I searched for magnifier.exe as someone suggested, got it back, now it's gone again. Please, this is driving me crazy.

How to get Magnifying glass icon on Lockscreen?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To get the Magnifying symbol on the lock screen you will need to enable Windows spotlight for the lock screen. Windows spotlight is an option that displays different background images on the lock screen.



To enable Windows spotlight on your computer, please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold Windows key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Select Windows spotlight from the drop down menu under
   Background.
