Windows 10: Invisible icons in taskbar

I am having a issue with my DELL windows 10 laptop

I opened my PC to see that all the icons in the taskbar are invisible . Things I tried :

Went to task manager and restarted file explorer

Restarted my pc

Unpin and repin the applications

If anyone knows how to fix it without causing any file loss pls tell . Also the start menu is not opening .

This happened after my PC asked for a update and I accepted

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.

 

Invisible icon on taskbar

Hi Oudstnad

Right click an empty spot on your Taskbar, choose Taskbar settings

Scroll down on that page and click 'Select which icons appear on the Taskbar'

Do you see that item listed there and if so, is there a name on that application/utility?

 

Invisible icons in taskbar

Hello.

I upgraded to Win10 today, got it via Update center, and I have some issues.

First of all, after boot and login, black screen appears, only mouse is visible.

Task manager is working, but starting explorer.exe didn't help.

Than everything appears after few minutes, but taskbar has invisible icons. Running apps, tray apps, even clock are invisible, don't highlight, but still clickable.

All drivers and updates installed and fresh.

Using Dell Inspiron laptop.

Any ideas how to fix it?
