  1. system tray icons


    I received an update to Win 10 and ever since the update, I am only able to see two icons on the system tray at the same time. For example, I now have the speaker icon and the wifi "fan" icon on the system tray. I would like to also have the battery icon on like I've always had it. But when I check the the list of icons turned on, the 3 I mentioned are turned on. Yet I can only see 2. If I turn off the wifi icon and then turn off and back on the battery icon, I will see the battery icon. The speaker icon remains on. If I turn on the wifi icon, the battery or speaker icon will go off. I have gone into task manager and restarted Explorer. Made no difference.

    I did not have this problem before the most recent updates. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  2. How to recover hidden icon in System tray on Windows 10?

    Hi Callum,

    As you are facing issues with un-hiding the icon in System tray, we will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know which is the icon you have deleted from the system tray for better assistance?

    I suggest you to try the below steps to add the icons to Taskbar and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key, click on Settings.
    • Click on System> Notifications & actions.
    • Click on Select which icons appear on taskbar (to select the icons that appear on Taskbar)
      and also click on Turn system icons on or off

    Hope it helps. If the issue still persists, let us know with brief description for further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  3. System Tray Icons Don't Stay in Tray and Instead Keep Moving Up Into "Off Icons"

    I tried this suggestion to keep the tray icons I want in my tray THERE

    instead of moving up into the icons box at the system tray arrow.

    I tried these instructions listed on this site in answer to the same question:

    1. click Start.

    2. Type Customize icons.

    3. click Customize icons on the task bar.

    4. Click Turn system icons on or off.

    5. Set the icons that you want to On.

    6. Click ok.

    That works, but not for long.

    Then the problem repeats.

    I'd like a solution that keeps the icons I select IN THE TRAY till I change them,

    even if I power on or off.

    The solution seems like it should be simple, but it's not.

    To save you time helping me:

    I've researched the other threads, and I will not change the Registry,

    or create a new account, or do another
    System File Checker (SFC),

    or try the solutions listed in those other threads that did not result in a solution,

    so please do not propose those.

    Do you have an idea that might work? Would love to hear.

    Windows 10, updated.
