Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The right hand task bar icon for my printer has disappeared.  It would appear when I initiated a print job.  It has now disappeared.  I have tried everything I know and also what Windows support offered and the icon is still missing.  In addition, when I accidentally can print, the printer queue takes forever to clear.  I had an update the other day and I suspect that is what caused the problem.  Can anyone help me solve this problem?
