  1. System notification tray missing


    My System Notification tray typically on the right side of the desktop taskbar is missing. All my small icons are on the the taskbar, they aren't grouped together under that system notification tray, which usually appears as a "^". We are running Windows 10 Enterprise on a 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. How can I restore this tray so that all these little icons can be placed in that notification area?

    :)

    No dice. It's my entire system tray that's missing, not just the icons in it.

    System Notification Tray Missing

    Hello,

    One possible reason why the system tray icons are missing is that the system icons settings are currently off. For us to resolve this issue, we suggest that you change the settings of your computer. Here's a simple guide on how to turn on your system icons:

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

    Hope this information was helpful to you.
