The taskbar icons not showing issue is a common problem in Windows operating systems where the icons of open applications or files fail to appear on the taskbar, making it difficult to manage and switch between them. This can occur due to various reasons such as corrupted system files, incorrect settings, or malware infections. To resolve this issue, users can try restarting the Taskbar, checking for corrupted system files, disabling and re-enabling the Taskbar, or running the Taskbar troubleshooter.
