Windows 10: Icons missing in Taskbar notification area and in Settings -> Personalize -> Taskbar -> Notification Area - Select which icons appear on the taskbar

To All,

Suddenly, (but not unexpectedly for Windows 10's instability), some of my icons in the Taskbar notification area - AND - in "Settings -> Personalize -> Taskbar -> Notification Area - Select which icons appear on the taskbar" are now missing. In the settings,
the missing Taskbar notification area icons are turned on but all I see is a blank blue box with no icon within it or there are two entries for the same icon.

From my research, this problem has been around since 2015 so I tried a few of the fixes previously posted on this forum, but none have worked. These include:

1. Rebuild the icon cache
2. Run SFC (System File Checker) scan "sfc /scannow"
3. Run DISM TOOL "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth"

Note that restarts have been done after each of these. Are there other ways to fix this problem?

Here is a screen shot snippet of "Settings -> Personalize -> Taskbar -> Notification Area - Select which icons appear on the taskbar" that shows the missing icons and duplicate entries for those icons that are missing on the Taskbar.





Thanks,

thanks , but you did not understand the problem.

I have since found the solution wlsewhere:

To add a hidden icon to the notification area

• 
  Click the arrow next to the notification area, and then drag the icon you want to move to the notification area. You can drag as many hidden icons to the notification area as you want.
  

To
always show all icons on the taskbar

• 
  Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Under Notification area, click Customize.
  
• 
  Select the Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar check box, and then click
  OK.
