    Unable to view installed programs when i click on the windows icon or type in program name in search box on task bar

    I am unable to view installed programs in the program list. When i click on the windows icon or type in program name in search box on task bar, the program doesn't show up. For example, I installed visual studio, launched it, closed it and searched for
    it in using the above steps. Did not show up. I had to re-install it! As a workaround, I either pin these programs to my task bar or create a desktop shortcut during installation. I use Windows 10 Enterprise edition, Surface book, purchased in August 2016

    Taskbar icons hidden until new program is pinned


    I've read many posts about hidden icons or icons showing wrong images etc, but my problem seem to be different from others.
    When I log on after a reboot, I only see the search icon and the Task View icon in the task bar even though I have several other programs pinned.
    If I open a pinned program I see it in the task bar and have the option to unpin the r-click menu, but if I close it, the icon disappears again.
    If I open a program that is not pinned, and I r-click and pin the program, the task bar seems to 'refresh' and suddenly I see all my pinned programs in the task bar - and they all work when clicking on them.

    Can anyone tell me how I can make the task bar show the pinned programs without having to pin a new program after every reboot?

    Thanks in advance Windows Update and Wrong Icons assigned to program - Broken Pinning of Programs in the Task Bar :)

    Windows Update and Wrong Icons assigned to program - Broken Pinning of Programs in the Task Bar

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.
