Default Items pinned (once) to taskbar vanish

Never seen this before... I have half a dozen icons pinned to the
taskbar. They've all disappeared. When the taskbar shows, there's
nothing there. I found the folder that is, supposedly, the set of
icons and they're present in the folder. They just are not displayed.

"1. Go to Settings and click on Taskbar

2. At the bottom of the page is a section titled
Multiple displays, scroll down to it.

3. Toggle "Show all display" Off and then back on.
Doing this brought the icons back to the main
screen's taskbar.

The other 7 monitors which also have a taskbar still had no icons.

4. Change the dropdown list selection below
"Show taskbar on all displays", called
"Show taskbar buttons on", to "All taskbars".

For some reason it had been changed to the middle
option "Main taskbar and taskbar where window is open".

If it is already set to "All taskbars" change it
to one of the other two options and then back again
and your icons should now be restored on all
of the taskbars across all monitors.
"

Or some variant there-of.

That answer is from a year ago, so could already be invalid.

Thanks! It gave me a place to start and now I'm ok. I
still wonder what caused this - creepy Windows!
