Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

Restore WiFi Icon from Shown Hidden Area

Sometimes, your WiFi icon may be dragged to the Shown Hidden Area. So, before proceeding to the solutions, you can check your Shown Hidden Area and check whether it is here. So, just click the up arrow in the Taskbar to continue. If it is here, drag it to the Taskbar.

If it is not here, try the following solutions. 

Enable WiFi Icon from Settings

The second solution to solve the issue of WiFi icon missing Windows 10 is to enable WiFi icon from Settings.

Now, here is the tutorial.

Step 1: Press Windows key and I key together to open Settings. Then choose Personalization to continue.

Step 2: In the pop-up window, choose Taskbar in the left panel to continue.

Step 3: Then scroll down to choose Turn system icons on or off to continue.

Step 4: Make sure the Network or Wireless icon is On.

Step 5: Returning to the last page, choose Select which icons appear on the taskbar to continue.

Step 6: Make sure the Network or Wireless is enabled.

After that, reboot your computer and check whether the issue of Windows 10 WiFi icon missing is solved.

I hope this helps.
