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.

 

The Windows icon on the taskbar no longer shows tiles or a list of installed programs.

A right click on the touch pad will list a few options and will let me reset or shut down. A left click does nothing. I cannot see a list of the programs or any tiles.

 

System Icons in Taskbar Bouncing Left and Right?

Hi Rob002,

There might be an application running on and off in the system's background that's why taskbar icons are rearranging from time to time. May we know the result after you perform a clean boot? Also may we ask for a screenshot of your taskbar.

In the meantime, can you try to toggle on Always show all icons in the notification area option in Windows settings. Kindly follow these steps:

1. On your keyboard, press Windows + I.
2. Choose Personalization.
3. Click Taskbar.
4. Under Notification area, press Select which icons will appear on the taskbar.
5. Toggle on Always show all icons in the notification area.

After performing the steps above, check if issue persists.

Keep us posted.
