Well, it's been enough time now. It does seem to be related to auto hide. I've not had one issue on my machines since unchecking it. Hopefully we'll see a fix for that in an upcoming release as I like my task bar to auto hide. I can live without it in the meantime, though.
I like mine to auto-hide, as well, but I suppose I'll keep it unhidden until the problem is fixed.
I haven't had the problem in a few hours. The only thing I did was turn of the auto-hide feature of the task bar on my machines having the problems. Now that the task bar is displayed all of the time, I haven't lost the icons. I don't know if that means anything or if it has been long enough to know anything for sure, but it's worked for me all evening.
Just got home from work and the task bar icons were gone again, after leaving Task View unchecked all day. I rechecked Task View and unchecked it again, and everything came back except, of course, Task View. .99 and English, by the way.
I lost my icons shortly after my last post. It happened this time while I was browsing with Firefox. I unchecked Task View and everything returned except, of course, Task View. So far so good, but without Task View.
Yes, I agree. It's the one I'm using, as well.
I'm having the same issue on 4 devices (1 laptop and 3 desktops), all of which I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Every now and again, all of the icons (task view, edge, etc.) suddenly disappear from the task bar. I have to disable the task view icon to get them to return, but I enable it again right afterwards. A reboot may or may not be successful. When it happens again, I will try leaving task view disabled to see if that helps. Edit:
