Windows 10: missing icons on settings > choose icons to appear on taskbar

That sounds like the procedure you had to use to get ride of dead icons left in the notifications area when you uninstalled a program. I may give that a try latter on. I've done it in the past with no ill effects.

 

Not exactly. It still lists installed app's icons. Like Skype. I still have it but it's still empty box.
Yet the majority of the missing icon's box are gone.

However one thing I still cannot solve.
The quiet hours mode are always enabled even that the Quiet Hours mode was not clicked and it's not highlighted..
I'm referring to the Action Center icon next to the clock..

 

Have you tried your C drive then All users or your admin account
Then Programs also Programs 86 as Skype folder can be in them as that is where I got rid of a skype folder from that was playing up.
Then because I use it I reinstalled it from the store
Or see if Revo Uninstaller will get rid of it for you
The other problem you have I cant help you with as I don't use it

 

Thanks for the help so far!

I found a fix to my issue, switched this OFF by setting to 0 in registry: Code: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications] "NoToastApplicationNotification"=dword:00000000[/quote] Now I have notification enabled and I can set quiet mode on or off

 

Did it, the messed up Icons are gone, gone completely. Will have to wait for them to come back to see if the icons show correctly.

 

hi.. I'm glad I was able to help out *Smile

 

They're back. I have 5 showing as just a solid one color square. Microsoft Outlook, task manager, uTorrent, etc. They display correctly in the actual notifications area though. They are only messed up in Settings. Something else weird, is Location Notification is listed twice in the select which icons appear list?
