If ending the task in Windows Explorer did not resolve your concern, we recommend restarting the Windows Explorer. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click the taskbar to open the Task Manager.
• Locate Windows Explorer under Processes tab.

The wireless icon should be visible now on your taskbar.

Notification icons visibility dependet on taskbar width?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



It is very unusual that you the Notification icons doesn’t show up in the system tray properly. I have tried to reproduce the same on my computer with 13 icons in the system tray and I was able to see all the 13 icons with the minimum width of the
Taskbar.



As this is not working in your case, we would like to know the details requested below:

• Which version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

However, we can try few troubleshooting steps and check if the issue persists.



Method 1: Update display drivers



I suggest you to try updating display drivers and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on the display
   device and select Update Driver.
   

Article for reference:

Method 2: Change display resolution



I would suggest you to try changing the display resolution and see if the all notification icons are visible. To change the resolution go to
Start >> Settings >> System >> Display.



Method 3: Re-register Start Menu and Taskbar



Try re-registering the Start Menu by using PowerShell commands and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin)
   
2. Now type in the following command and hit
   Enter to re-register Start Menu: Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
   
3. Restart the PC.
   

Method 4: New User account



Create a new user account to isolate the issue related to user account corruption. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10



I would also suggest you to install all the pending updates on the computer. Go to
Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> Check for updates.



Let us know how it goes.
