WiFi setting disappearing taskbar not responding and other parts of my system like sound

Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Since you are having problems in multiple parts of the system, I'm afraid you have corrupted system files. Corrupted system files can cause system services to suddenly stop working. Sometimes, the services start working again or not at all, requiring a system restart.

Before suggesting a procedure to fix this, please clarify the following:

What is the current version and "OS Build" of your Windows 10?

- Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

If you prefer, send a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

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.

• Click More details at the bottom to expand the Task Manager window.
• Under the Processes tab, look for Windows Explorer.
• After selecting the Windows Explorer, click the Restart
