Windows 10: Icons disappear from system tray

Hi, I have already performed the following:

1. Right-click on an empty space in your desktop taskbar and select Properties.
2. In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, find the selection labeled Notification Area and click on Customize.
3. Click on Turn system icons on or off.
4. If you'd like to always show all icons, turn the slider window to On.
5. Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

Yet, every time I turn on the computer, my Carbonite icon and others are missing from the system tray. This all started after the big update last month. How do I fix this problem?

:)

 

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?
