    What is this icon and where and why did it appear? It looks like a blue tongue and has the text "PRE" over it. What the f**k is this nonsense doing on my machine.... I didnt approve of any app installs on my machine, so where did this app come from? I feel like my PC was invaded or some ****.

    • 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.

    Sound icon missing from taskbar

    Hi,

    Provide us with the below information to help you better.

    Which build is currently running on your computer?



    As an initial step I would suggest you to install all the pending updates and restart your computer, check if it fixes the issue.



    Make sure Volume button display is enabled in taskbar.

    • Open settings window
    • Click on personalization, on left pane select task bar.
    • On right pane click on 'select what icons appear on the taskbar'.
    • Toggle volume icon to make volume icon appear on task bar.

    Get back to us with the status of the issue for further assistance.
