    System Icons on taskbar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

    If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.

  3. Icons appear as a white square

    Hi

    Have you been adding or removing any fonts on that system recently?

    Those blank squares are usually shown as Symbol Fonts, you can see them in the Character Map.

    Press the WinKey+R to display the Run dialog, type
    charmap and press OK. This will open the
    Character Map
    .

    Press the down arrow at the top of the windows to display the
    Fonts list. Scroll down and select the Segoe UI Symbol font. Scroll down and take a look at some of those symbols. You will see these symbols being used extensively in Windows 8x and 10.

    If any of these fonts are removed or replaced with a different font, you will see those blank squares.

    Regards
