I have had the same problem. Went to task manager, did search for explorer.exe, right-clicked on Windows Exlorer, and left-clicked on restart, and icons reappeared.

Win11 Pro Build 22581.200

I am unable to reposition icons in hidden icon area of taskbar by dragging. Taskbar is not locked.

Try this: https://github.com/HerMajestyDrMona/Windows11DragAndDropToTaskbarFix/releases/tag/v.1.9.0.0-release

I think he means the option to control what appears on the right side of the popup menu when left clicking on the start 11 icon, such as documents, pictures, devices etc.

Found that if I left click on the start icon and bring up Win11 start menu, right click to bring up management menu, and then left click, the Stardock menu appears.
