Windows 10: Why do I have a blank task bar and how do I fix it?

One day out of nowhere on my Microsoft surface laptop top, everything on my task bar completely disappeared. I ran multiple windows fixers as instructed. I also tried everything in my task bar settings, nothing worked. I can barely do anything on my laptop now.

task bar icons blank

After applying the november windows 10 home update three of my task bar icons have become blank sheets. The ones changed are edge, store and wunderlist. The remainder are fine. The icons of the three appear correct in the all apps list. I have tried
unpin and re-pin with no change. The three applications work correctly and start fine from the task bar. It is just hard to remember which application is which blank. Note this has happened on my hp laptop which was upgraded from windows 8.1, My desktop
which has windows 10 professional does not have the problem. It was upgraded from windows 7 professional.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestion. I checked a different user account which I had setup when windows 10 was first updated but had never accessed since. It does not have blank task bar icons.
