    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.

    System tray got error cause system icon missing

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    • What is the version of Windows 10 you’re running?
    • What happens if you right click in the empty space between the input indication and the icons very next to it?


    It appears that there is some icon which is not being displayed. I would suggest to turn off system icons, reboot the computer, then enable them back and let us know the results.



    1. Right click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings to open the taskbar settings.
    2. Go to Select which icons appear on the taskbar and Enable Always show all icons in the notification area by toggling the switch to
      On position.
    3. Go back and click on Turn system icons on or off.
    4. Disable all system icons by manually toggling the switches for each individual app/icon to position
      Off.
    5. Reboot the computer and enable (toggle the switches to position
      On) for all the apps/system icons by following the steps 3 and 4 mentioned above and let us know how it goes.


    We await your reply.

    system icons missing from taskbar Windows 10

    i have a HP pavillion 15 laptop which i have updated to windows 10. the battery icon is missing from the taskbar. the option to turn on the system icon is grayed out in the setting. the only way i can get it back is by disabling and enabling the Microsoft
    ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery. however, this fix isnt permenant as it keeps on dissappearing after i turn of the laptop.

    is there a way to fix this?
