bottom right icons not working

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

    IRST may not be necessary for me. So, I install Intel SATA Preinstall driver?

    I note that the Intel Management Engine Interface #1 driver in Device Manager is newer than the Intel Management Engine Firmware found in motherboard download page. So, I skip it, right?

    After decompressing the Intel SATA Preinstall driver file, I find no Setup.exe file in it. How can I install it?

    Also, in searching for the background of the Intel SATA Preinstall driver, I note that this driver is only necessary if I intend to switch the SATA settings between available modes (AHCI, RAID, or IDE). As I have no intention of the switching, is it that I can skip this driver?

    Some of the websites even say this driver is not necessary in Windows 10. I'm confused.
