In Dock and Menu Bar System Pref I disabled everything (unchecked) and the enabled (re-checked) all those items I wished to see, including Date/time, Control Center, wi-fi, Sound, Time Machine, etc. I then immediately logged out and then logged back in again. Voila. The menu bar is now working again the way I wish it to work ... so far.
