Menu bar not showing

On my MacBook Pro (running Mac OS Monterey) I recently finished using migration assistant to transfer my files from my old laptop. Now when l log into a user the only things in the menu bar on the right side are spotlight and Siri. I have no idea how to get the other icons (light control center and battery) back.


Help much appreciated

System Preferences > Dock & Menu Bar.

For things that have a status menu item, there should be a checkbox to enable showing in the menu bar.

SInce they show in Safe Mode that means something is loading that prevents the items from showing.
