Try unchecking Hide Icons from the Start Menu | Properties. It's located
under the Taskbar Tab.

Which icons? Some programs just work this way.

Added info:

Icons are missing or disappear, reappear: This happens for most Auto-Logon
users.

Methods/workarounds: Log off and Log back on, password protect your account
or disable SSDP and uPNP Services.

Icons in the Notification Area May Disappear If You Use High-Contrast Color

For most users, setting the very first icon to Always Hide, restores the
arrow/chevron. Also be certain that the "behavior" of each of each icon is
what you want it to be. Right-click each, to make changes.
