Windows 10: Pinned Chrome shortcut not visible on taskbar after restart

Pinned Chrome shortcut not visible on taskbar after restart
This is a strange problem that only occurs on my Windows 10 Home edition (Version 1703 build 15063.250) laptop.
I have always been able to pin Google Chrome to my taskbar without issue. Now when I pin it, the shortcut icon shows up for that session, but dissapears when I restart the computer. No other shortcut does this.
The shortcut is present in the C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar folder. The attached screenshot shows the shortcut is present, but not showing on the taskbar.

I normally use StartIsBack, but I disabled it and the shortcut continued to dissapear. I logged on with the Administrator account, same issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
