    System tray stuff suddenly gone


    I've been noticing problem after problem today. My area had a sudden power cut due to construction. When it came back, my PC ran updates, and when it came back, things just started messing up. Programs were sending out fatal errors, the OS seemed slow as molasses to boot, and now for some reason my system tray icons are gone.


    Here are some screenshots:

    After: Taken just now

    Could it be that the power cut combined with the updates messed some stuff up? As shown my AntiVirus doesn't even show up in the tray. I have the system settings set to display all the tray icons.

    :)

    Lost clock and calendar from system tray after update on September 25, 2016

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why this issue happens. To help you resolve this concern, we suggest that you adjust the height of the system tray. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the system tray.
    • Make sure that the Lock all taskbars
      option is unchecked.
    • Try positioning your cursor at the top edge of the system tray until you see a vertical line with arrows at both tips.
    • Hold the left mouse button down and drag the edge of the system tray upward to expand it.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
