Windows 10: Notification area inconsistencies

Hello:

My Notification area shows four application icons, and there is no problems with them.

When I click the ^ icon, I see 13 icons, all of which I have identified. No problem there either.

Then, I right-click on the task bar, and click Taskbar Settings > Taskbar > [Notification area] Select which icons appear on the taskbar, and there, I see two problems among the 28 icons appearing:

1. When clicking the ^ icon (see above), four of the 13 icons are these:

• Hard Disk Sentinel Engine – Disk: #0 • Hard Disk Sentinel Engine – Disk: #1
• Hard Disk Sentinel Engine – Disk: #2 • Hard Disk Sentinel Engine – Disk: #3

However, in [Notification area] Select which icons appear on the taskbar, "Hard Disk Sentinel Engine – Disk: #2" is absent.

Would you know a probably explanation to this?


2. In [Notification area] Select which icons appear on the taskbar, one of my application icons (not among the 13) occurs five times (exactly the same text; not different version of the like).

While this might be an application problem, I would appreciate your take on it before I ask the developer.

-----------------

Thank you in advance.



PS. I have never been able to find the Notification area in the registry or elsewhere. Are they available, or are they included in software and thus unavailable?

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.

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
