I have a lot, 46, programs in my task bar, and when I rebooted the
last time (a reboot not because Windows was jammed up, only because
Synergy was not working) a) the task bar was in a different order, and
b) at least two of the programs, Forte-Agent and Tunein, were missing.
This is not the first time a big chunk of the task bar went from the
head of the liast to the tail, and the last time that cured itself
the next time I rebooted. But it is the first time I noticed program
icons missing from the task bar.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Nope, but I only keep six on mine, although I do have around 20 (including folders
with shortcuts in them) on the (old style) start menu courtesy of Open Shell. >You do realise that you can drag and drop the icons to re-order them on the >taskbar don't you?

You do realise that you can drag and drop the icons to re-order them on the >> taskbar don't you?
Yes, that's what I did, but a) It's an inconvenience, b) it was
compounded by two (or more?) programs being missing, c) even if it were
no problem at all, it intrigues me. C is probably the most important.
I restarted windows and it wa just as bad, but maybe that's because I
added one of the missing programs. Maybe if I hadn't, it would have
looked right again.

I went to the Desktop to start my newsgroup reader and I haven't
rebooted yet so I don't know if the bar will be back to normal if I do,
but I wanted to report this and check if this is a known problem.

You have 46 shortcuts *pinned* to your taskbar?
Yeah, I don't think MS planned for that use case...
But W10/W11 is just a minefield of stuff you must not do. One day,
I locked the machine up, and it's because I had started two processes
that used RAM. The System Write Cache does not take No for an answer,
and I'd started saving something in one window. And it was consuming
cache memory. And some other process I was using, also wanted RAM.
And before I could kill one of the two items, the machine was locked
up tight, keyboard didn't work, and I had to hit the reset button.
For some of these cases, you have to be ninja-fast, to bring the
machine back into control in time.
