    how to get rid of windows update icon in the tray


    Greetings
    OS: windows 10 pro
    winver: 1809
    Suddenly windows update icon appeared in the tray. I don't want the next update.
    How do I kick the icon from the tray?
    which process or service I have to kill so that when I restart or shut down windows it won't try to install update?
    thank you

    :)

    Minimize to icon tray not working in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

    Since updating to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, RealTemp is no longer minimizing to my icon tray. Is anyone else having these issues?

    Thank you.

  3. 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?

    how to get rid of windows update icon in the tray

    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:
