Not sure if it works but give it a try

1. Open Task manager (Cntl-Alt_Dlet),
2. Click Process tab,
3. Find Explorer.exe (or explorer.exe).
4. Terminate it. (ignore warning)
5. Click Applications tab
6. Then New Task.
7. Enter (guess what) explorer.exe and press enter

I had the power icon missing from my task bar I cured this by removing the password from my admin account everything written on the internet failed. I found this solution by opening another account without a password and the power icon appeared so i removed my password from my account and bingo power icon has showed ever since as have any other icons I select to show

No password on my admin account edogg but thanks.

Try settings System Notifications Turn system icons on if that works then choose which icons appear on the taskbar

I have this problem for a long time and searched the web. There are many other people having the same issue and the only solution by now:
open the task manager and restart windows explorer. no other way
