  1. How do I delete an invisible icon in the taskbar?


    I pinned Mail on my taskbar. Later to have a keyboard shortcut, I created a shortcut of mail and sent it to desktop and then eventually to start menu's directory.


    Afterwards - it would seem - the mail icon of my taskbar became invisible. I cannot unpin it because it isn't pinned according to Windows. Clicking 'Pin to Taskbar' does nothing.


    I have gone to the taskbar directory:
    C:\Users\Lance\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar


    There is no mail in that directory.


    How can I remove this icon?

    :)

    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    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.

  3. Invisible windows app icons and lost thumbnails.


    I had some invisible icons on my taskbar (not all of them, seems to be only windows apps) and I tried an online fix which suggested deleting the icon cache. However, this didn't work and now I have no thumbnails for any of my files so I can't tell what anything is. Very frustrating so would appreciate any help.
