How to Fix Icons Not Showing on Taskbar in Windows 10
Are your app icons missing from your Windows 10 or Windows 11 taskbar? These icons might be hidden in the Taskbar settings, or the taskbar might be experiencing a minor glitch. You can fix the problem with a few simple methods and get all your favorite icons back on the bottom bar of your PC. Here's how.
There are a number of reasons why you might not see app icons on your taskbar: you're using Windows Tablet Mode (which hides the taskbar), File Explorer is acting weird, there's a problem with Windows' icon cache, your key system files are corrupted, and more.
One reason why you don't see your taskbar and taskbar icons is because you have Windows' tablet mode turned on. This mode is designed for tablets running the Windows operating system, and it makes the taskbar disappear.
