missing icons on settings >choose icons to appear on taskbar

Hi all

please see the screenshot.


is there a way to fix this?

thanks!

What are you trying to add to taskbar
If Windows Explorer then just click the slider to on
Same with all the other ones that are off.

Or are you having trouble getting them to click on and show icon on taskbar
If something else please explain more so members on here can help you further

I'm referring to the missing icons as seen on the screenshot.
I'm not trying to do anything.

Please, look at the left side of the screenshot. There are missing icons.

SFC Command - Run in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog

If not then try this one
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 blog

Hope these help you

sfc didn't find any issues.
I think the repair install is too extreme for this kind of issue and it will remove all the tweaking that I have worked on and drivers that were not easy to install.

Are there any other, less extreme, resolutions?

Try this if it does not work then an repair install is the only other way
