Windows 10: Anytime an App Updates, it then Hides Itself in the System Tray. How do I stop this?

Hello,Windows 11 user, latest updates/versions installed but this has been happening for the entire time I've had Windows 11.

I have every possible icon set to ON as well as the global setting there. However, whenever ANY of these apps has an update NVidia, Discord, Spotify to name the most frequent, after the update installs the system changes the option to OFF for them and they become hidden with the little up arrow. I have to go
