  1. One of my taskbar icon slots makes anything i put there invisivble and un-interactable


    Turned on my pc today to see my wifi icon gone from my taskbar, went into taskbar icon settings to turn it's display setting off and on again, it shifted the wifi icon out of the slot and into view but pushed an adjacent icon into the invisible slot, when i right click the empty slot it just gives me the general taskbar settings and nothing ive tried has made the empty slot go back to normal including, force restarting windows explorer, restarting my pcwith and without updating windows, and general things like turning of the taskbar and icons entirely. It's quite an annoyance seeing as no matter what, at least one icon has to be in the invisible slot for the rest of the icons to be where they normally are, if anyones got a solution to this weird bug it'd be greatly appreciated

    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.

    Hi,

    Provide us with the below information to help you better.

    Which build is currently running on your computer?



    As an initial step I would suggest you to install all the pending updates and restart your computer, check if it fixes the issue.



    Make sure Volume button display is enabled in taskbar.

    • Open settings window
    • Click on personalization, on left pane select task bar.
    • On right pane click on 'select what icons appear on the taskbar'.
    • Toggle volume icon to make volume icon appear on task bar.

    Get back to us with the status of the issue for further assistance.
