I had a similar problem.
Using the gpedit.msc tool I also noticed that my volume icon was "not
defined" just like the network icon (but it was still available). So I
tried to enable it together with the network icon. Now both of them were
greyed.
So instead I "Disabled" both. This time I the boxes were no longer
greyed and I got both system icons back.
