All those icons in the bottom right of the taskbar do not work, no response despite left clicks on those icons. These include the volume, network, clock and notifications icons. The Action Center cannot be called out as well. However, those hidden icons under the "Up Arrow" work properly.

My desktop is running on Windows 10 Home version 21H2, the latest Windows update was just run yesterday.

The followings have been tried with no improvement:

a) System File Checker - sfc /scannow

b) DISM tool - CheckHealth, ScanHealth & Restorehealth

c) Powershell command

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

d) Renaming of UsrClass.dat file

e) Restart Windows Explorer

Anything else I can do to solve the problems?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Performance and system failures

    Then the WLAN Wifi driver needs to come from it's manufacturer's website. Do you know what Wifi card you have? If not look in the Device Manager.

    That BIOS is very old.

    I have installed updated audio driver - Realtek HD Audio Driver dated 2021/10/05 from motherboard download page.

    The process is smooth and the PC restarts twice to delete old driver and install the new one. The installation guide told me that the process is complete.

    However, after that, I note in Device Manager Audio inputs and outputs category, the driver remains the one from Microsoft dated year 2019.

    Do you have any idea?

    Try opening the device in Dev Manager, from Driver tab choose Update driver, then Automatically to see if it picks it up from downloads. If not choose Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick to see if it's queued there. If not Update Driver > Browse to the download location where it's Unzipped.

    Tried all methods, still no change for audio driver.

    Should I proceed with updating of other drivers?
