Windows 10: Weird problem with system icons not showing after anniversary update

After the anniversary update I have a weird problem with my system icons.
In Settings I have enabled the following system icons: sounds, network and battery status. Only two of them are visible in the system tray and one is invisible, although there seems to be space 'reserved' since I have a gap in my system tray.

Turning the icons on and off does not help, adding more system icons does not help either. Strangely, the icon I enabled first will disappear.

At this moment the sounds icon is invisible, and there is gap between the network icon and keyboard input indicator:




All help will be appreciated!

Action Center Icon Shows Quiet Hours Turned On

After installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update version 1607, I no longer have this problem with the Action Center Icon showing the
circle in the bottom right corner.

 

System tray icons blur and darken until they disappear

Amrita's response is basically nonsense, just fishing in the dark. The Nvidia drivers are specifically meant for Windows 10.

This only started happening after the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The system tray icons did not show this behavior before the update. I specifically noted the changes over time of the icons immediately after the update was intsalled on my pc.

 

Create a new user profile and log in to the new user and test. This seems like a profile issue.

 

Hello Rob, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

In addition, you might also see if resetting the notification area icons may be able to help if it's just cache corruption causing the issue.

Somehow opening the menu: Select which icons appear on the taskbar in the Taskbar Settings page made my sound icon come back. However I didn't make any changes and I have opened that menu before. I hope the icon will remain there after a reboot. Otherwise I will try resetting the notification area cache.

Thanks for your replies!

 

I too have weird things here . Updates have fixed some issue but why would the network icon be an airplane both in tray and in system select display menu ? This is a desktop with no wifi capability. It says connected and will switch off and on but stays the same. There is no airplane mode to select in any menu.
A different profile doesn't alter it.
