    Hey everyone! I'm having an issue where various UWP app icons no longer display in the taskbar. Win32 apps all display correctly. Please see my attached screenshot for an example. I've reset the icon cache etc to no avail. Thank you!

  2. Icons of UWP/Metro apps not showing in taskbar


    UWP App icons sometimes don't display on taskbar. eae356dc-591c-4de0-8e53-e85eea72d453.jpg


    Icons of UWP/Metro/Modern apps (first gap in the image is Edge, second (the active app) is mail, third is Twitter) are not showing up in the taskbar, nor when they're pinned, nor when they're opened. Icons of classic desktop (Win32) apps are visible. Icons
    from the right to PowerShell are pinned, from Slack to the right are just opened.

    I've tried several reboots, upinning and re-pinning the apps and a script suggested here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...isplayed/8f308e41-6edf-45d7-8346-05b895ec517e,
    but my problem isn't solved. Any ideas?

  3. Icons of Store UWP apps are not correctly displayed anywhere. How to fix this?

    Icons of UWP apps are not being shown correctly in the taskbar, app list in the Settings app and most other places. This problem started sometime ago with Windows 10 Anniversary update. I didn't do anything about it then. However the problem still persists
    after Creators update. Icons of normal applications are displayed correctly. Only the UWP app icons are affected. Any fix for this?

    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.

    in Windows 10 Ask Insider
    Why don't taskbar icon display settings stick?: I think this has been happening as long as there have been taskbar icons (XP?). You set volume, network, battery, etc. to display, and they do.
