How to Reset Taskbar Notification Icons in Windows 10 & 11
By Timothy Tibbettson 09/17/2022 |
The Taskbar and overflow icons can often become corrupted, display incorrectly, or show icons from programs deleted or removed from startup. We can solve most problems by deleting and recreating the registry items associated with the Taskbar.
Download Reset Taskbar Notification Icons in Windows 10 & 11 from MajorGeeks, and extract 'Rebuild Font Cache.bat.'
A reboot will be required, and you might lose your Taskbar until the final step. Please close all of your work before proceeding.
Right-click on Reset Taskbar Notification Icons in Windows 11.bat and click Run as administrator.
As is normal with batch files, you might be warned that Windows protected your PC.
Click on More info.
Click on Run anyway. If you don't see it, look for the scroll bar at the bottom and slide it to the right.
A Command Prompt window will appear. Follow the prompts.
If your Taskbar disappears, press Alt + Tab, then click on the Command Prompt Window.
