  2. Windows 11 App Taskbar Icons Always Invisible After Sleep

    Just fresh installed windows 11 yesterday. All updates are already installed too, But when my laptop goes to sleep mode because I'm idle after waking it up, the app icons on taskbars are always missing/invisible. It's not missing. They are still there but just invisible. Is there any fix to this? Or it's just the current bug from windows 11. The start menu and search icon are not invisible, only the installed apps that are invisible on the taskbar.

    Step 2: Choose "More Details" at the bottom of Task Manager to expand Task Manager.

    Step 3: Go to "File" and choose "Run New Task".

    Step 4: Type "cmd" in the "Open" field.

    Step 5: Type explorer.exe and change date/time to the previous day.

    Minecraft Launcher's Taskbar Icon is Invisible

    Yesterday, I was playing Minecraft when I realized that that Minecraft launcher taskbar icon was invisible. When I pinned the launcher, I could move the invisible icon around on my taskbar, creating gaps between other, already pinned programs. Someone asked this question and got the answer "try reinstalling the launcher". That person said the suggestion worked and resolved their problem.

    Since the issue is relatively benign, I decided to ignore it rather than interrupt playing Minecraft with the chore of reinstalling the launcher. Today, I discovered that the issue resolved itself thanks to shutting down my computer at the end of each day (restarting it). In summary, you can fix the invisible icon problem by simply restarting your computer, no need to reinstall the Minecraft Launcher. I'm just writing this "question" because the other question post that suggested the reinstall is now locked, so everyone that goes looking for the solution to this issue are getting the muss less efficient solution of reinstalling compared to the much quicker and simpler solution of restarting their PC. Anyway, hopefully this helped you. Have a good one!

    TLDR;

    If your Minecraft Launcher taskbar icon is invisible, before you try uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher, try simply restarting your computer. It worked for me and is much less of a chore than going through the reinstallation process. Have a good one!
