Icons in the task bar temporarily disappear

Question

Since Friday (14/04/2023) sometimes, 2 or 3 times per day, the application icons on my task bar disappear for about 30 seconds and then re-appear automatically. Does anyone know which is the cause and how to fix this? The windows version is: "Windows 10 Professional Edition (Build 19044) (64-bit) (ID versione 21H2)" Thanks :)
