To restore an icon that you removed from the taskbar in Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Application: Find the application you want to add back to the taskbar. You can do this by searching for it in the Start menu.
  2. Pin to Taskbar: Once you find the application, right-click on its icon in the Start menu or on the desktop, and select "Pin to taskbar" from the context menu. This will add the icon back to your taskbar.

If the application is already running, you can also right-click its icon in the taskbar and select "Pin this program to taskbar" to keep it there even after closing the application.

If you are having issues with icons not displaying correctly, you might want to check your icon cache or the Shell Experience Host registration as well.
