  2. Customizing Icons in Notification Area

    Hello,

    I just upgraded my windows 8.1 to 10 today .

    I found it hard to manage the Notification Area because it did not have the option like "Show icon and notifications" or "Only show Notifications", but just on and off.

    Also there is no address in control panel like "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons" .

    I searched some hints and it seems other windows 10 have the address given above in the control panel . source( http://www.addictivetips.com/window...ide-icons-from-the-system-tray-in-windows-10/ ) .

    is there some error in my upgrade why can't i find the Notification Area Icons in the control panel ?

    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.

    How do I customize / control notification area in Win10

    Startup and Notification area

    R]I ran this batch file, but it did not help (which I understand, because Task Manager > Processes does NOT show WinDates).

    I am back to the conclusion that Win 10 can run WinDates manually, but not automatically at startup (via link). If I double-click on the link C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\WinDates.lnk, WinDates opens fine.

    My next step will be to run a scan of system files to see if something is corrupt. However, any other suggestions are welcome.
