Taskbar Icons are getting disappeared

The taskbar icons are getting disappeared, I have tried to restart the Windows Explorer service from the task manager, updated display adapter driver from device manager and performed SFC scan but there was no luck. Has anyone come across such an issue and had found any fix?

 

Windows Version 1903

OS Build 18362.418

Taskbar Icons

    Hi,
    which icons are getting disappeared exactly? do they include built-in app icons ? such as email, file explorer, store app? or only 3rd party programs' icons disappear?

      From bottom left, only Windows and Search box is visible and at bottom right, only date/time is visible.

      Pinned apps such as File Explorer, Microsoft Apps (Outlook, Word, Excel) and third party apps such as Webex, etc. are disappeared. Even the hidden icon tray, or internet connection option on taskbar is not visible.

        That's strange, do you remember when it started to happen exactly? like after installing a software, installing an update, changing a settings etc?
