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

Right click taskbar taskbar settings, other system tray icons and enable what you want to show

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.

@Peter_Salczer I had the same issue and I noticed that the overflow button reappears after you logoff and login again on the account. Don't restart the PC just click on Start - the account pic - Sign out....then log in back and the "show hidden icons" button should be visible

@Peter_Salczer Solved? How? I'm still having the same issue and tried everything listed here. It's simply gone.

@sireric1967 Yep, this also did it for me. So the question is: What broke to cause that to happen?

@Reza_Ameri Yes, the update fixed the issue.

Signing out and back in solved the problem. @RapierXDA

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.
