    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.

    Icons in notification area - widnows ignores setting

    Hi Alberto,

    You might be experiencing this issue because Windows Explorer (Explorer.exe) is not working correctly or not responding.
    Windows Explorer is a program manager process that provides the graphical interface such as the Start menu, taskbar, notification area, and File Explorer. To sort this issue, we suggest that you restart Windows Explorer. The easiest way is by restarting
    your computer. If you do not want to restart your computer, you can also follow the steps below:

    • Hold Ctrl+Shift while right-clicking on an empty area of the taskbar.
    • On the modified context menu, select Exit Explorer. The Start menu and taskbar should disappear.
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager.
    • Click More details on the bottom part of the window.
    • Click on the File menu, and select Run new task.
    • Type explorer.exe, and click OK.
    • Try setting up the icons in the notification area again.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you download and run
    the Start menu troubleshooter
    . This troubleshooter should also find and fix common issues with the taskbar.

    We also recommend that you download any pending updates that need to be installed through Windows Update and check if it helps resolve the issue.

    Keep us updated on the results, and we will be glad to assist you further.

    Missing Notification area Icon in Windows 10 control Panel

    thanks , but you did not understand the problem.

    I have since found the solution wlsewhere:

    To add a hidden icon to the notification area


    • Click the arrow next to the notification area, and then drag the icon you want to move to the notification area. You can drag as many hidden icons to the notification area as you want.

    To
    always show all icons on the taskbar



    • Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click Properties.

    • Under Notification area, click Customize.

    • Select the Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar check box, and then click
      OK.
