Intel graphics control panel is missing?

Hello, one day I pressed "close" for the intel graphics control panel in the system tray and it has been gone ever since, no signs of it anywhere in my computer. I tried re-installing the graphics driver from Dell's site and nothing, is it intentionally gone? I have a Dell Inspiron 13 5379 2-in-1.

If your right-click in an empty area of your desktop background, do you see a way to get to it there?  If so, click Intel Graphics Settings > Options & support > Preferences and set the Tray Icon option to Enable.  If you don't see it even there, then try completely uninstalling the Intel Graphics drivers before reinstalling the version from Dell's site.  Otherwise, it's possible that Windows Update has pushed a newer version of that driver that somehow doesn't surface the Graphics Settings applet.  I remember having that issue on my XPS 15 9530 where the driver Microsoft provided wasn't fully functional for some of the systems it was getting pushed to.  I ended up disabling driver delivery via Windows Update (only possible with Pro versions of Windows).

Same issue here. I just updated to WIndows 10 (1809), in the process of which my Intel Graphics control panel has disappeared. Tried updating the Intel Graphics driver to the newest one through Support Assist but that didn't change anything. Tried rolling back to an older version of the driver, which worked - the control panel for Intel Graphics reappeared in the system tray and under right click. The issue is, for whatever reason my "Adaptive Brightness" got switched on with no way of turning it off, meaning the brightness keys on my keyboard stopped doing anything. Since this was unworkable for me, I updated back to the current version of the driver (24.20.100.6287) and lost the control panel. Someone help please :/
