Windows 10: Skype icon goes blank in system tray after being there for a while.

This issue is not being addressed. Closing a subject does not make it go away for anyone but Microsoft and the lurkers.


The Skype icon goes blank in the system tray after being there for a while. I can get it back by restarting the computer but it always goes blank again after a short time. This is not an isolated issue. You can find complaints about it all over the Internet. It is a recent issue that apparently appeared after the last automatic update.


It would be nice if Microsoft and the lurkers here on Microsoft Community would quit their standard practice of blaming end users. Take the time to investigate the problem and fix it. Do not waste the time of people who report it to you by giving them standardized responses that have nothing to do with fixing the problem.
