Hello can someone please help my windows 10 icons have just disappeared.
The volume and network and some other icons are missing the only thing what is there is the time/date
Also windows 10 search in the taskbar has also disappeared and even when i right click to search it doesn't come up at all.
Iv tried many solutions but none of them are working.
Iv gone in the taskbar settings and disabled icons and re-enable it but none of them are still not showing iv restarted explorer.exe in task manager and that also did not work please help.

Are you sure you're not on a second Virtual Desktop?

Can you sign into another user account on the same machine? If so are the icons missing on the alternate account? If not missing then your original profile may be corrupted. See here for advice on what you could do https://www.techbout.com/fix-corrupt-user-profile-windows-10-9139/
