    Persistent, non-functioning duplicate system tray icon


    Win 11 system tray icon for AI_widget.exe stops functioning, and running the exe again creates a new functioning tray icon. The original, non-functioning icon will not clear. Killing processes does not help. Deleting registry entry does not help. System restart remedies temporarily, of course.Relatedly, though less importantly, context menu for these tray icons also doesn't work. Tooltip for non-functioning icon is usually a single null character, and no tooltip for the functioning.Gigabyte Aero 15 KBWindows 11 Pro
