    icons disappeared from task bar

    Address bar (top screen) & task bar (bottom screen) keep disappearing

    Most likely Tablet Mode, as dmholt57 suggests.

    Turn On or Off Tablet Mode in Windows 10

    Task Bar icons disappear when switching to tablet mode

    Everything on my task bar disappeared

    Start > Settings > System > Tablet mode >

    Turn off "Hide app icons on the Task bar"
