Some icons in Task bar have lost the appropriate picture

No reason to apologize Tom, if you press WinKey + R, paste the path I gave you and press enter, you will find the location of your taskbar icons.

Hi OAT. I knew that!! But my memory didn't. Did that and it only lists some of my 13 icons for the taskbar! The directory Tombstones, whatever that is, is empty. Do I add programmes here?

Shortcut of programs, not the program executables.
A restart of Explorer is needed for the changes to stick.

Why does it only list 5 out of the 13 icons on the Task bar?

Hi, OAT. What I meant was that, currently without making any changes, I only have 5 apps in this list, but have 13 icons on the Taskbar. Why is this?

Update.
Got the Files icon back by reinstalling Files.

Then found DISM Restorehealth couldn't find the source files, so had to do a repair installation of Wi 11 from iso and the Settings icon is now back!
