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.

 

W10 taskbar icons disappearing

Just yesterday my w10-Pro system started having problems with the taskbar icons.

Those on the right-hand side would all disappear, but were restored if I;

1. Did settings hide taskbar on/off,
2. Expand taskbar to two lines, and then back to one,
3. Sometimes it temporarily restores things, but then It will then show a few of the icons, with a scroll bar to show the rest.

As if there were a phantom item taking up all the rest of the space.

1. Restart explorer, machine – no effect.

I did SFC, removed icon cache, etc.
Ran: DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
No change.

Sometimes once restored, it will have a mistaken re-paint of the time/date on to of the right-hand side ones, which corrects on mouse-over.

Nothing new installed, no updates.

OneNote for Windows 10 Taskbar Icon

The OneNote for Windows 10 taskbar icon has changed. It's somehow the same as the Chrome icon.

I have tried restarting Windows explorer in Task Manager. I even ended the task and ran it as a new task.

I've repaired OneNote and reset it.

I've seen the whole "pin to task bar and go to properties to change the icon" thing. I don't have a properties option, pinned to task bar or not. I only get Open, Unpin from Start, and Unpin from taskbar. Other apps do have the properties option.

My computer has been rebooted twice (once because I installed updates).

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled OneNote.

Does anybody have any idea why this icon has changed or, more importantly, how to change it back? OneNote itself works fine, but this is just super irritating.
