Missing hidden icons in the hidden icon tray.

Good evening!

I have noticed that I have something running on my computer in the hidden icon tray that is always invisible. I have deleted and refreshed my windows explorer icon memory in the registry editor and restarted the windows explorer in the process manager, yet
there is still a blank icon. I have no idea what it is and want to make sure it's not malware or an unknown background process. Attached is a screenshot of my tray and below is a link to how I refreshed my windows explorer icons. Thanks in advance!
