Sound icon in notification area

I am running Windows 10. I have tried all the steps that was explained (posts from Dec 2015) but I am having no luck at all. The settings turning icons on or off, mine is also grayed and won't allow to turn on. Going to the The Task Manager and clicking
on file, then run a new task, typing "explorer.exe" I come up with my files on my computer. I see nothing in refer to sounds, notification area or no icons. Am I doing something wrong. Please help!

 

Startup and Notification area

R]I ran this batch file, but it did not help (which I understand, because Task Manager > Processes does NOT show WinDates).

I am back to the conclusion that Win 10 can run WinDates manually, but not automatically at startup (via link). If I double-click on the link C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinDates.lnk, WinDates opens fine.

My next step will be to run a scan of system files to see if something is corrupt. However, any other suggestions are welcome.
