Windows 10: Settings taskbar button not workingf

I was changing my settings and minimize it for a second to do something else. When i clicked on the icon from the taskbar, nothing happened. I can't hover over the icon and try to open it from the preview because that didn't work either. How do i keep this from happening again and what can i do to fix this?
