默认情况下，您应该在每台Windows 10(Windows 10)计算机的通知区域（即任务栏的右下角）中找到一个音量图标和一堆其他系统图标。音量图标可让您轻松调整计算机的输出音量、解决声音问题，甚至管理外部音频设备。
如果音量或声音图标丢失，或者您在任务栏上找不到它，请参阅我们在下面列出的故障排除解决方案。
这些解决方案不仅仅针对音量图标。您还可以使用它们来恢复(restore other system icons)PC 任务栏中缺少的其他系统图标。
1.检查任务栏配置
首先(First)，您需要确保将计算机的任务栏配置为容纳音量图标。按照以下步骤将音量图标（重新）添加到任务栏。
1. 右键单击任务栏并从菜单中选择任务栏设置。(Taskbar settings)
2. 滚动到通知(Notification)区域部分，然后单击打开或关闭系统图标(Turn system icons on or off)。
3. 确保音量(Volume)已打开。
如果启用了音量，但在任务栏上仍然找不到图标，请将其关闭并重新打开。这可能有助于恢复Windows中丢失的音量图标。否则(Otherwise)，继续下一步。
4. 返回任务栏(Taskbar)设置页面，点击选择任务栏上出现的图标(Select which icons appear on the taskbar)。
5.在此页面上切换音量。(Volume)如果已启用，请将其关闭并重新打开。
更快的替代方法是手动取消隐藏音量图标。点击任务栏上的向上箭头图标并将音量图标拖到通知区域。
2.重启Windows资源管理器
Windows资源管理器(Explorer)为Windows 10 计算机上的任务栏、开始菜单(Start Menu)、文件资源管理器(File Explorer)和操作中心(Action Center)提供动力。如果音量图标丢失，重新启动 Windows 资源管理器(restarting Windows Explorer)可能会有所帮助。
使用Ctrl + Shift + Esc键盘快捷键启动Windows 任务管理器。(Windows Task Manager)在进程(Processes)选项卡中找到Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)（或 explorer.exe）并单击它。最后，点击任务管理器(Task Manager)窗口左下角的重新启动按钮。(Restart)
这将刷新任务栏和通知中心，并有望恢复丢失的声音图标。
您还可以使用Windows 命令提示符重新启动(Windows Command Prompt)Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)。
1. 右键单击屏幕左下角的Start/Windows命令提示符（管理员）(Command Prompt (Admin))。
2. 在命令提示符(Command Prompt)控制台中输入以下命令，然后按Enter。
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
该命令将终止Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)，您的计算机屏幕将变为空白。
3. 在控制台中键入以下命令，然后按Enter。
资源管理器.exe(explorer.exe)
您的桌面和任务栏图标将重新出现在屏幕上。如果这不能恢复丢失的音量图标，请继续执行下一个解决方案。
3.更新音频/声音驱动程序
过时的驱动程序(Outdated drivers)可能会扰乱您计算机的音频配置并导致其他相关的硬件问题。我们建议您将计算机的驱动程序更新到最新版本。
1. 右键单击开始(Start)并从快速访问菜单中选择设备管理器。(Device Manager)
2. 展开声音、视频和游戏控制器(Sound, video and game controllers)类别并右键单击您的声卡或音频设备。选择更新驱动程序(Update driver)以继续。
3. 选择自动搜索更新的驱动程序软件(Search automatically for updated driver software)。Windows 将在您的计算机和互联网上搜索您的音频驱动程序的新版本。
如果音量图标仍然缺失，请卸载音频驱动程序。您不必担心会破坏任何东西；Windows将自动重新安装驱动程序。
右键单击驱动程序，选择卸载设备(Uninstall device)，然后在出现警告提示时选择卸载(Uninstall)。
要立即重新安装已删除的驱动程序，请选择菜单栏上的操作，然后选择(Action)扫描硬件更改(Scan for hardware changes)。
这将刷新设备管理器(Device Manager)并重新安装音频驱动程序。如果未重新安装驱动程序，请重新启动计算机并再次检查。
还值得一提的是，带有错误的糟糕、不稳定或开发不佳的驱动程序也可能会扰乱您计算机的音频配置。如果安装新版本的音频驱动程序后计算机上仍然缺少音量图标，您应该回滚到以前的版本。
双击(Double-click)音频驱动程序以启动驱动程序的属性(Properties)窗口。导航(Navigate)到驱动程序(Driver)选项卡，然后单击回滚驱动程序(Roll Back Driver)按钮。
4. 检查Windows 组策略编辑器设置(Windows Group Policy Editor Settings)
组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)是一个高级环境，您可以在其中配置和自定义您的Windows桌面体验。默认情况下，每台Windows PC 在组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)中都有一个策略设置，允许用户从系统控制区域中删除音量图标。
如果此策略设置处于活动状态，您的计算机将不会显示音量或声音图标。请按照以下步骤检查音量图标设置的状态并将其禁用。
1.使用Windows key + R键盘快捷键启动Windows 运行(Windows Run)框。
2.在对话框中输入gpedit.msc并选择(gpedit.msc)OK。
3. 在用户配置(User Configuration)部分，展开管理模板(Administrative Templates)类别并选择开始菜单和任务栏(Start Menu and Taskbar)。

4.滚动(Scroll)浏览页面上的策略设置并找到移除音量控制图标(Remove the volume control icon)。双击它以检查其状态。
5. 如果策略设置已启用，请将其设置为Not Configured或Disabled。
选择确定(OK)以保存更改并确认这是否会恢复丢失的音量图标。如果没有任何变化，请重新启动计算机并再次检查。
5. 更新视窗
计算机操作系统中的错误也可能导致此问题。如果上述故障排除解决方案均无法解决问题，则安装最新的Windows 10 更新可能会有所帮助。除了错误修复外，Windows更新还附带驱动程序更新。
将您的 PC 连接到 Internet，然后转到“设置”(Settings ) > “更新和安全( Update & Security)”以检查您的计算机是否有可用的Windows更新。(Windows)
恢复丢失的音量图标
音量图标是许多音频相关设置的便捷快捷方式。如果您的 Windows 10 计算机上缺少音量图标，这些提示中的至少一项应将图标恢复到任务栏。如前所述，您还可以应用这些技巧将其他丢失的系统图标恢复到任务栏。
如果音量图标仍然丢失，则计算机的任务栏可能有问题。在这种情况下，您可以通过使用Windows Powershell(Windows Powershell)重新注册任务栏来解决问题。我们已经在修复 Windows 10 任务栏(guide on fixing Windows 10 taskbar)的本指南中解释了如何做到这一点。
Volume or Sound Icon Missing in Windows 10: How to Fix
By default, you should find a volumе icon and a bυnch of other system icons in the notification area (i.e. bottom-right сorner of the taѕkbar) of every Windows 10 computer. The volume icon lets you easilу adjust your computer’s output volume, troubleshoot sound problems, and even manage extеrnal audio dеvices.
If the volume or sound icon is missing or you can’t find it on the taskbar anymore, refer to the troubleshooting solutions we’ve listed below.
These solutions are not just specific to the volume icon. You can also use them to restore other system icons missing from your PC’s taskbar.
1. Check the Taskbar Configuration
First things first—you need to make sure your computer’s taskbar is configured to accommodate the volume icon. Follow the steps below to (re)add the volume icon to the taskbar.
1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings from the menu.
2. Scroll to the Notification area section and click Turn system icons on or off.
3. Make sure Volume is toggled on.
If Volume is enabled but the icon is still nowhere to be found on the taskbar, turn it off and back on. That could help restore the missing volume icon in Windows. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
4. Return to the Taskbar settings page and click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
5. Toggle on Volume on this page. If already enabled, turn it off and back on.
A faster alternative is manually unhiding the volume icon. Tap the arrow-up icon on the taskbar and drag the volume icon to the notification area.
2. Restart Windows Explorer
Windows Explorer powers the taskbar, Start Menu, File Explorer, and Action Center on your Windows 10 computer. If the volume icon is missing, restarting Windows Explorer might help.
Launch the Windows Task Manager using the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keyboard shortcut. Locate Windows Explorer (or explorer.exe) in the Processes tab and click on it. Finally, tap the Restart button at the bottom-left corner of the Task Manager window.
That would refresh both the taskbar and notification center and hopefully restore the missing sound icon.
You can also restart Windows Explorer using the Windows Command Prompt.
1. Right-click the Start/Windows icon at the bottom-left corner of your screen and select Command Prompt (Admin).
2. Type the command below into the Command Prompt console and press Enter.
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
The command will terminate Windows Explorer and your computer’s screen will go blank.
3. Type the command below in the console and press Enter.
explorer.exe
Your desktop and taskbar icon will reappear on the screen. Proceed to the next solution if this doesn’t restore the missing volume icon.
3. Update Audio/Sound Driver
Outdated drivers can mess with your computer’s audio configurations and cause other related hardware problems. We recommend updating your computer’s driver to the latest version.
1. Right-click on Start and select Device Manager from the Quick Access menu.
2. Expand the Sound, video and game controllers category and right-click your sound card or audio device. Select Update driver to proceed.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will search your computer and the internet for a new version(s) of your audio driver.
If the volume icon is still missing, uninstall the audio driver. You don’t have to worry about breaking anything; Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
Right-click on the driver, select Uninstall device, and select Uninstall on the warning prompt.
To immediately reinstall the deleted driver, select Action on the menu bar and select Scan for hardware changes.
That would refresh the Device Manager and reinstall the audio driver. If the driver isn’t reinstalled, restart your computer and check again.
It’s also worth mentioning that a bad, unstable, or poorly-developed driver with bugs could also mess with your computer’s audio configurations. If the volume icon is still missing on your computer after installing a new version of your audio driver, you should roll back to the previous version.
Double-click the audio driver to launch the driver’s Properties window. Navigate to the Driver tab and click the Roll Back Driver button.
4. Check Windows Group Policy Editor Settings
The Group Policy Editor is an advanced environment where you can configure and customize your Windows desktop experience. By default, every Windows PC has a policy setting in the Group Policy Editor that lets users remove the volume icon from the system control area.
Your computer will not display the volume or sound icon if this policy setting is active. Follow the steps below to check the status of the volume icon setting and disable it.
1. Launch the Windows Run box using the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut.
2. Type gpedit.msc into the dialog box and select OK.
3. In the User Configuration section, expand the Administrative Templates category and select Start Menu and Taskbar.
[17-group-policy-editor-windows-10]
4. Scroll through the policy settings on the page and locate Remove the volume control icon. Double-click on it to check its status.
5. If the policy setting is enabled, set it to either Not Configured or Disabled.
Select OK to save the change and confirm if that restores the missing volume icon. If nothing changes, restart your computer and check again.
5. Update Windows
A bug in your computer’s operating system could also cause this problem. If none of the troubleshooting solutions above resolved the problem, installing the latest Windows 10 update might help. Aside from bug fixes, Windows updates also ship with driver updates.
Connect your PC to the internet and go to Settings > Update & Security to check if any Windows update is available for your computer.
Restore the Missing Volume Icon
The volume icon is a convenient shortcut to many audio-related settings. If the volume icon is missing on your Windows 10 computer, at least one of these tips should restore the icon to the taskbar. As mentioned earlier, you can also apply these tricks to restoring other missing system icons to the taskbar.
If the volume icon is still missing, there could be a problem with your computer’s taskbar. In that case, you can fix the problem by re-registering the taskbar using the Windows Powershell. We’ve explained how you can do that in this guide on fixing Windows 10 taskbar.
