    Task bar icons disappeared


    After running an update a couple of nights ago, the next morning most of the icons on the task bar at the bottom were gone and I can't click on the few that are left. If I minimize a screen, it doesn't show up on the task bar. If I try to reopen the same thing, it says I locked it. I think this update created havoc. How do I fix this??

    :)
