Windows 10: Issue with Notification Bell Icon Disappearing after Windows 11 Update KB5030310

Hello Microsoft Community,I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to bring up an issue I've been experiencing after updating to Windows 11 KB5030310. It seems that after this update, the notification bell icon on my taskbar disappears, and even after reinstalling Windows 11, the problem persists.I've noticed an interesting behavior related to this issue. When I turn on Focus Mode, the notification bell icon does reappear as expected. However, when I turn Focus Mode off, the icon disappears again, and in its place, a box icon replaces it.This behavior is quite frustrating, as it affects

:)

 

Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

Couple of things:

Disappearing icons during normal use is not something that Windows tends to do, so there's a problem somewhere on your system.

Leaving Windows Update for so long is asking for problems. Set the updater to download critical updates, but install only when you say so. This way, Windows will be kept up to date and the updates will be a lot smaller, reducing the chance of something going wrong.

So, what's infrarecorder?

 

GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.

 

Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

Hello

After I updated a ton of security updates with care to only update the certain critical ones no anything else.


The hardcoded icons have disappeared during reboot, those icons that you drag out of start menu and it automatically creates it, and the network icon that you right-click in the start menu and select "show on desktop"

But there was also a freeze during the update process, when rebooted it re-do the stuff that it does at boot so i think it was fine , but the icon thing happend, it always has to be something.

I so hate the windows update, I haven't updated for half a year and now i did a manual careful update and I think i will never do it again for win7 EVER on this PC.

Icons keep disappearing after a certain period of days while several sessions passed. Let's say every 5 days or a week, 3 times now. I want to have my system stuff out like Control panel, add remove programs, all the sys stuff.


EDIT: Exact icons are "network" "sound" and "programs and features"

Found something it can be certain settings for icon cleanup
