Some icons for applications pinned to taskbar not showing.

[Jeff1994]

Hi there,


I've seen other people have already asked about the hidden icons and that they were told to do;


a. Open run command by pressing Windows logo + R keys on the keyboard.

b. Type notepad in the command box and press Enter.

c. Copy the following text onto Notepad:

@echo off​

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe​

taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe​

timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul​

del %localappdata%​

\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q​

timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul​

start explorer​

@echo on​

d. Click on File and Save.

e. Choose a location to save the file on your PC. Enter a “File name” of ClearTileCache.bat and select “Save as type” of All files (*.*).

f. Click on Save.

g. Open File Explorer (Press Windows logo + E keys on the keyboard) and navigate to the location that you chose to save the file to, double click ClearTileCache.bat to run the file.

h. Close the windows after the file is run and check if the changes are effective.


Now I have done this and ran the file but yet the icons still aren't there. Is there anything that can be done to fix it? The programs are there it is just very inconvenient to not have the icon showing so I can select the program quickly.
