Windows 10: Taskbar Icons Missing After Update

After the last update, some of my taskbar icons are missing. The apps themselves are still there, it's just that the space where the icon should be is all black. The ones affected are: Mail, iCloud and Voice Recorder. I have tried unpinning and resetting but the result is still the same. How can I get these icons to reappear?
