Power icon and music icon greyed out?
So for about a week my laptop decided that it would remove the music and power icon from the task-bar so, I went into notifications settings to turn it back on but the icons were grayed out. So i went to the inter-webs to find guides but none worked. One guide however did work but it was only a temporary fix by uninstalling battery and volume software through the device manager and then scanning for any hardware changes. This fix only lasts until i turn off my laptop. after that I've tried 8 guides on how to fix it such as: HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, regedit, group policy manager. and so i decided to do a "Keep My Files Reset" to see if that would work but that did not. and now i am stuck at a dead end. I know that a factory reset would fix my problem but i dont know if I can still upgrade to windows 10 for free. I am now asking you dear people of the internet to help me please.
TL;DR Power and music icon grayed out please help.
Also my windows for like installers and google tend to spaz out when I try to move them so if you can give me a guide to fix it. Much appreciation!
P.S i have a dell inspiron 13 7000 series
