You can get this icon back by going to Tools > Options > Environment > General and make sure the option "Enable rich client visual experience" is selected.
The given solution was not working for me, as an alternative go to: C:\TwinCAT\3.1\System\TcSysUI.exe
and create a shortcut from that exe file, after that paste it in the start up folder.
To find the start up folder just type: win + r
, it will open the following window
In the text box write the following line: shell:startup
and copy the short cut to the opened folder:
After a restart the icon was visible to me.
