Windows 10: Task Manager icons changing every day or two (seemingly random)

So I've been noticing that when I hit the Windows key and search for the Task Manager (I do this a couple times per day, guess I'm paranoid lol), I've noticed that every two days or so, it switches from a black outline/minimalist icon to the older-looking 3D graphic of a grey PC with a graph on its screen. I don't think this is linked to updates since it doesn't seem to change when I update, and it has changed between these two multiple times, so neither seem permanent. I've run malware scans and nothing was found.

task viewer icon(virtual desktop)

I have the same problem. The task viewer icon was there but is now gone. I have gone through the steps you listed but no viewer. Then I created a new profile and the task viewer is there. Now, how do I get the task viewer back in my taskbar in my
original profile??
