Windows 10 Taskbar Icons Gone?

So I recently updated my Windows, to Windows 10. Everything was going great until a day or two ago, my icons on the taskbar are disappearing or invisible, for example, I had pinned Microsoft Edge to the task bar, the space of where the icon should be is there. Although, the image of the program, isn't. Upon selecting and opening up Edge, on the task bar the blank space appears to be selected. But the Icon is still invisible. This is happening for the Windows 10 Icons. I would really love to know what is going on and if there is a way I can fix it...
