My taskbar overflow is gone after latest update
I had an update today and now my taskbar overflow box is gone. How do I restore it?

- Same issue here.. MS needs to step it up with WIN11, way to buggy for this stage
I have multi monitor set up. And noticed that the notification tray only shows on the main monitor even though task bar is showing on all monitors.
I am having this problem almost a year later. Under "Other system tray icons" the only option is a "Hidden icon menu" toggle. As sireric1967 reported, the toggle does nothing.
This is not an Insider issue, but with the regular update channel. > 2023-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5023706)
- I am working with Windows 10 Pro and am currently having the same issue. I've tried all the fixes above with no avail. In the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" section of settings, toggling icons on/off does nothing.
I FOUND THE SOLUTION: right click on your taskbar > click on taskbar settings > click on 'other system tray icons' > click on the first option 'hidden icon menu' > toggle that to on and overflow will be restored
- I'm facing exactly the same issue. Nothing seems to work and is even harder to find anything on the web that could fix this.
Already tried DISM, sfc, chkdsk, but nothing works.
I have the same problem. The overflow up arrow is gone, and the taskbar "overflow corner" selection is also gone from settings. I do see a "Hidden icon menu" selection in the taskbar "Other system tray icons", but toggling this does nothing. If I select icons under it to on, those background app icons are permanently on the taskbar, not in the overflow section. sfc /scannow is fine, rebooting does nothing.
- Try performing a Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
Have a look at:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd- I also have this problem Clean Boot did not solve anything
- Try open start and search for Command prompt or cmd as administrator and then type the following command:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and let it runs and tell us what is the result. Right click taskbar taskbar settings, other system tray icons and enable what you want to show
