Maybe your tasbar is locked. To unlock it you must Right click on task bar and uncheck Lock the Taskbar option. After that try to drag-and-drop shortcuts to your taskbar.

You can install your updates now. It's OK.

The task bar is not locked.

Nevermind. "Show Quicklaunch" was not checked in the taskbar properties.

My icons are now showing up on the taskbar.
