How to recover hidden icon in System tray on Windows 10?

Hi Callum,

As you are facing issues with un-hiding the icon in System tray, we will help you with this issue.

Do let us know which is the icon you have deleted from the system tray for better assistance?

I suggest you to try the below steps to add the icons to Taskbar and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key, click on Settings.
• Click on System> Notifications & actions.
• Click on Select which icons appear on taskbar (to select the icons that appear on Taskbar)
  and also click on Turn system icons on or off

Hope it helps. If the issue still persists, let us know with brief description for further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

There are several reasons why this issue happens. To help you resolve this concern, we suggest that you adjust the height of the system tray. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the system tray.
• Make sure that the Lock all taskbars
  option is unchecked.
• Try positioning your cursor at the top edge of the system tray until you see a vertical line with arrows at both tips.
  
• Hold the left mouse button down and drag the edge of the system tray upward to expand it.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Hide an icon in the tray menu

I see. So are you wanting to uninstall it in the old Control Panel? What are you referring to using there exactly?

Did you try the repairs I suggested to try to fix whatever is causing the crash after hiding the icon? That should not be happening and can mean other corruption in the system, hence the reason I gave System File Checker repair.

Is the app showing up at any of the Startup locations in Step 4 of this performance checklist? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for.... One way to make it go away is to turn it off at Startup. Most items in System Tray are in one of those startup lists.

I hope it helps. Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.
