The 21H1 updates have hosed the taskbar icons. Tried several fixes from other threads, removing KB updates, etc. to no avail.

Four options to resolve in my environment:
I haven't been here in awhile although I monitor all the mayhem! SMH!
Michael: check out this link: shows EXACTLY THE PROBLEM you are experiencing with the taskbar. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5003214-update-causes-taskbar-display-glitches/
**Not a long article but it says regarding this:**The latest Windows 10 2004, 20H2, and 21H1 preview update is causing display issues and glitches on the taskbar's system tray.
"After users experimented with different settings, it was determined that the bug is caused by disabling the News and Interests widget on the taskbar.
Once disabled and a new system tray icon is shown, it triggers the glitch. Once you enable the News and Interests widget again on the taskbar, the icons begin to display correctly.
Windows 10 users affected by this bug found that it could be fixed by uninstalling the KB5003214 preview update, but unless Microsoft fixes the issue before June 8th's Patch Tuesday, all users will be faced with this issue."
Wish you luck!
