Some app icon in the dock suddenly disappear

Hi!


When I woke up my MacBook Pro, I noticed that some of the app in the dock do not show their icon. This is a screenshot of the dock.


How do I fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262 Choose the appropriate method.

To leave Safe Mode, choose “Restart” at the bottom.

     Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items, 

     system extensions not required by macOS,

     and fonts not installed by macOS. It  also does a basic check of your startup disk, 

     similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility

     And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, 

     which will be created again automatically as needed.
