Windows 10: Skype, no taskbar icon notification on startup.(open, minimize, works)

Hello,
Latest Skype versions on my computer behaves weird, Skype taskbar notification icon works not same as it was before with Skype7 on event when new message arrives.

OS: Windows 10, x64, v1607.
APP: Skype 8.50.0.38 (same behavior was with previous version too)

Images:
Case 1:
On OS boot, Skype starts, but taskbar icon shows no sighs that app is even launched. (tray icon appears)
When user receives message, only push notification appears, taskbar icon remains without any signs.




Case 2:
Once user clicks Skype icon, main window pops up, then we minimize app.
Now we can see that taskbar icon have bottom line, like other apps which are currently running.
And now when we receive message, we see push notification and taskbar icon color change.




This results that, I don't see if any new message arrives until on startup I manually open app.
Sure you can disable option to start app minimized, but then on each startup you will be greeted with main windows. But I prefer when all messaging apps launches in background.

Settings:

ThrottleStop 8.60 Stays in Taskbar

Hello!

I have an issue with ThrottleStop 8.60 (And 8.50U) staying in the taskbar when minimizing and not going to the notification area. The notification icon is there but it is always in the taskbar too. If I check 'Minimize on Close it still stays in the taskbar. Is this a bug or does anyone know how to get it off my taskbar and only in the notification bar?

Thanks!!!
