Problem with the taskbar and volume icon.
You're experiencing some odd behavior with your taskbar icons. It seems the volume icon isn't appearing consistently, depending on whether you enable or disable certain network-related icons. The issue might be related to how Windows manages these settings and their priority. Have you checked if other system icons are also affected by this change? Also, ensure your sound card drivers are up to date, as outdated ones can cause such inconsistencies.
If correct, simply restart your sound card drivers in TaskManager (CTRL + ALT + DELETE). Look for your sound drivers or software, right-click and select RESTART. Repeat this for each program that plays sound. I’m confident it will help.
I'm glad to hear it's working again! Feel free to mention any other issues you're facing with your laptop, and I'll be here to assist.
