What to do if icons disappear from the Windows 10 toolbar

Windows 10

In the Windows 10 toolbar we find with the icons of some of the applications of the computer. It is a very useful bar, because it allows us really fast access to these applications. We can anchor some of them to the bar, so that these icons are shown in it. Although on some occasions we find a failure.

Because of this, it may happen that icons of these applications disappear from the Windows 10 toolbar. Something that surely has happened on occasion. Luckily, there are ways you can easily fix the problem, should this ever happen.

It is not something rare, that happens to millions of users on occasion. In some cases, If you restart Windows 10, this icon usually appears again with total normality. Although this method does not always work. So we can try another way to get the icons back to the taskbar. There is the icon cache.

Toolbar

We have to go to this folder on the computer: C: \ Users \ user \ AppData \ Local that we can access by putting your username where user appears at this address. We copy this address in the file explorer of the computer and enter it. In some cases, App Data is hidden, so hit show hidden files to see it.

So, we come across a file called IconCache. We have to delete said file from Windows 10, so that the icons or icon in question will appear again in the toolbar of our computer. In case it does not appear, open the app in question whose icon does not appear in the bar.

By doing this, we will see how icon returns automatically to the Windows 10 toolbar. So the problem is solved in a simple way. A trick that works very well in the vast majority of occasions.
