    System tray shows new notifications that aren't there


    I've noticed on my laptop and desktop, both running Win10 Pro 1809, that since the last set of updates, when I boot up and logon, both machines show the notification icon at far right on the system tray as filled and hovering the mouse over the icon shows the tooltip "1 new notification". However, when I click on the icon to see the notification, the notification area that opens is completely blank. After I've done this, the notification icon goes back to being empty and the tooltip shows "No new notifications".

    :)

  2. System Notification Tray Missing

    No dice. It's my entire system tray that's missing, not just the icons in it.

    System Notification Tray Missing

    Hello,

    One possible reason why the system tray icons are missing is that the system icons settings are currently off. For us to resolve this issue, we suggest that you change the settings of your computer. Here's a simple guide on how to turn on your system icons:

    • Right-click on an empty space in your desktop taskbar and select Properties.
    • In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, find the selection labeled
      Notification Area and click on Customize.
    • Click on Turn system icons on or off.
    • If you'd like to always show all icons, turn the slider window to On.
    • Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

    Hope this information was helpful to you.
