    speaker icon disappears on taskbar


    Hi,

    i notice that the speaker icon on my taskbar disappears. my display setting is set to 1360 x 768 (recommended), speaker setting is turn on. if i set the display setting other than recommended the speaker icon reappears. how can i have the speaker icon stay on the taskbar in recommended settings permanently plz?

    Thank You

    :)

    After Windows 10 upgrade no speaker icon

    Hello.

    After upgrade to Windows 10 the speaker icon in the taskbar (right corner) is missing.

    I already tried the workarounds like reset icons via menu and also via regedit (delete settings) from the support website, reinstall sound drivers, etc.

    Unfortunately without success

    Interesting is, that when I am deactivating/activating the speaker icon (in the icon settings menu) the network (!) icon disappears/appears.

    Is there a fix/workaround to repair this?

    Kind regards

    Thorsten

  3. window disappears before i can select anything

    when i click on the cortana or action center icons in the taskbar, and move the cursor up to select something, as soon as the mouse pointer moves out of the taskbar area the window disappears. So i've been having to press the icon then quickly move the cursor
    out into where the window will be before it pops up. It's extremely aggravating and i want it to stop! please help!!

    ok so it's doing it with all the icons on the taskbar. clock, battery, speakers, etc..

    Can you click the small up arrow on the left end of the Notification Area to see if that icon [ and others] is on the "rest of the list"? If so you can change Settings to make it always show.

    There are two Settings for icons in the notification area, these are found in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar under 'Notification Area'. They are: 'Select which icons appear in the notification area' and 'Turn system icon on or off'. The first changes whether the icon is displayed or in the list of other hidden icons. The second removes the icon completely from those being displayed, whether on the tray or hidden. Make sure both are turned on for your speaker icon.

    Changing the screen resolution should have no effect, what display adapter do you have? Do you have the latest driver, and have you just updated the driver? In the past Nvidia have been known to release a new driver that messed up displaying icons on Start, it may well be that your problem is a display driver problem.

    UPDATE:

    the video card is not the issue. it is windows 10!! when i go to settings/notification area and select ON not all icons show in the taskbar. with it OFF only 2 icons will appear in this area. if i turn and icon off another will appear. so anyone know what and how i can correct this please?

    Thank You
