Windows 10: Volume Icon Missing From System Tray Taskbar
2Windows 10: Volume Icon Missing From System Tray Taskbar
However, several users, and on especially on Vista, Windows 7 and 10, have been complaining of missing icons on the far right of the taskbar. A common complaint (probably because it is used more often) is the disappearance of the sound icon that lets you access and make changes to your computer’s sound settings. This includes the volume level, the input and output channels and other configurations.
Have you ever run into a situation where you want to raise the volume of a downloaded clip to make it audible, only to find that the Volume system icon is missing from the taskbar of your Windows 10 computer? The problem occurs when the behavior of the system icon selection setting is greyed out. The more general approach towards solving this problem is looking for a solution from the Settings program or the Control Panel but or manually setting icons on the notification area.
With default settings, network/wireless icon, volume icon, and battery icon (if PC comes with a battery) appear on taskbar in Windows 10. Like other icons, at times, the volume icon might go missing from the taskbar.
Of course, you can adjust the speaker volume even if the volume icon is missing by either using hotkeys on your keyboard or by opening volume mixer (type adjust system volume in search to get volume mixer).
