Dock not showing icons

Hello everyone! Today I started to have a problem with my MacBook Pro (2017), relating to the Dock. The icons aren't appearing, only the Finder, Calendar and the Bin. I used the computer until 1am today and at 2pm the computer was like in the picture... I already restarted, and forced the Finder to restart. Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

You can try relaunching the Dock on the fly from the Terminal.app copy and paste:

killall Dock


and see if it comes back to life...


If no resolve try a safe boot to clear cache file  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

reboot as normal to test.
