Apparently this is quite a common bug at the moment after a recent update but I've tried a few of the suggested fixes online and none have worked. Can anyone help?

Drag taskbar to the side or top so it docks.
Reboot, you should see icons again ?
Redock to bottom
Go to details tab, sort by name and find explorer.exe then right click end-task
Click on 'Run new task' and type explorer.exe
That should get the taskbar running in most cases, if not, then I would reboot.
As for a long term fix, check you have the very latest updates installed because this problem has supposedly been fixed.
And also do the following:

So forgive me for being sceptical, I work in IT support and don't believe anything a user says until I've seen it with my own eyes and 80% of the time I'm right, this PC hasn't even been rebooted since the last windows update which is the first thing that should be done for any problem.
Many people think pressing the power button is turning the PC off and on but it isn't the same as a restart.
Can you ask them to do the following:
1. Win-key and R
2. Type cmd
3. Type shutdown /r

Win-Key-R
type cmd in the box then press crtl-shift-enter to run it as administrator
then type these commands followed by a reboot as described in an earlier post
