Windows 10: How do I make Windows 11 System Tray Icons Stop Going to the Hidden Icon Menu?

How do I make Windows 11 System Tray Icons Stop Going to the Hidden Icon Menu? Certain applications' system tray icons in the taskbar keep going to the hidden icon menu. For example, Discord and Steam keep going there. In previous versions of Windows, I just set it to show all of them but that doesn't appear to be an option anymore. Thank you.

Tray icon disappears

I've been experiencing since the installation of Windows XP SP2 on multiple machines with the ATITool Tray Icon disappearing upon load at system startup. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Enabling or Disabling the "Hide Inactive (tray) Icons" WinXP menu option doesn't have any effect. The only way to open ATITool after it has loaded is to go through the start menu to open it again. I have "minimize on close" selected in ATITool. When closing ATITool, you see it make the motions of minimizing to the tray area but no icon is displayed. Any ideas?

 

hidden icon arrow not going away

I am wondering why is it when there are no hidden icons , the arrow will not go away in Windows 11? In personalization, taskbar and under other system tray icons, I see the hidden icon menu. Some do not have it. How to fix it so that when no icons are hidden, the arrow goes away. A bug I believe.

 

Hidden icon menu not showing in taskbar

Hi Olivier,

Always a good idea to read the Blog post.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22610 | Windows Insider Blog

• [NEW] After upgrading to Build 22610, the “Show hidden icons” flyout in the system tray may disappear completely for some Insiders, even though it shows as “on” under Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and “Other system tray icons”. We are investigating the issue. As a workaround if you need access to the icons that would show in the “Show hidden icons” flyout, you can go right-click on taskbar to open the Taskbar settings page, navigate to the “Other system tray icons” and individuals toggle specific apps to “On” until the issue is resolved.
