Windows 10: Taskbar Won't Display Sound Icon, Network Icon, or Calendar, and Won't Allow Right Clicks...

I believe this started after an update, but I now cannot locate that update in the update history. After restarting my computer two days ago, I was no longer able to left-click on the Sound Icon, the Network Icon, or the Calendar. To be more specific, I can right-click on these icons to get some additional options such as troubleshooting options for those specific functions, but if I simply left-click on these icons nothing happens.


In a strangely inverse problem, I can left click on any program icons, such as Chrome, Word, Steam, etc., but right-clicking on these icons does nothing.


I have tried stopping Windows Explorer, restarting Windows Explore, checking for additional updates, and restarting the computer. I've also run SFC with no luck.
