Windows 10: Annoying Tray icon appears each time entering Steam.

Every time I enter Steam to play there is this annoying Tray icon that appears and can't get rid of it unless I restart/log off the computer.What can I do to get rid of it?

Steam icons

I did the following: I reinstalled STEAM, I reset the "hosts" file, I flushed the DNS, and I did some other things I can't even remember at the moment. However, STEAM was upgraded (around 120KB) and the problem disappeared. If an incorrect icon appears, right-click on that icon and click on RELOAD. After that, everything returns to normal.

Hi Callum,

As you are facing issues with un-hiding the icon in System tray, we will help you with this issue.

Do let us know which is the icon you have deleted from the system tray for better assistance?

I suggest you to try the below steps to add the icons to Taskbar and check if it helps.

• Click on System> Notifications & actions.
• Click on Select which icons appear on taskbar (to select the icons that appear on Taskbar)
  and also click on Turn system icons on or off

Hope it helps. If the issue still persists, let us know with brief description for further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

Anyway to get rid of annoying nVidia System Tray icon?

So with the last few nVidia drivers they've added a very annoying System Tray icon that is there when the computer starts. I don't know why, but it bugs the crap out of me.

Now I can stop the "NVIDIA Display Driver Service" service and the icon goes away. Oddly, I can start the service right back up again and the icon doesn't come back.

Now for the mean time I just wrote a bat file that runs at startup to restart the service, which gets rid of the icon, but there has to be a better way. Perhaps some option burried somewhere in the nVidia control panel or something.*Bang Head :banghead:
