Issue regarding Taskbar icons

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to Taskbar icons not showing properly on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. Does this happens only with File Explorer or any other icon on Taskbar?
   

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the suggestions mentioned below and see if that helps.



Method1:



Try re-registering Taskbar using PowerShell command and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Now type in the command and hit Enter:
   
   Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   
3. Restart the PC.
   

Method 2:



Try changing the Settings for Recently opened items.

1. Press Windows + I to open
   Settings
   
2. Now click on Personalization and click on
   Start.
   
3. Under Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar and in File Explorer Quick Access.
   

In case the problem persists, try creating a new user account and check. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

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.
