Windows 10: Windows 11 System Tray Security Icon. No Context Menu when right click.

Hello. I have Windows 11 Ver.22H2. Not sure if this problem happened after an update or not but the Windows security Icon in the system tray will no longer show the context menu when I right click on it. All other icons in the system try work fine no problem getting the context menu for them, It is only the Windows Security icon that will not show the context menu. Left clicking on the security icon will launch the security app. Any help getting back the menu appreciated. Seems like every time I start windows 11 the security app has another glitch.

:)

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

Tray icon disappears

I've been experiencing since the installation of Windows XP SP2 on multiple machines with the ATITool Tray Icon disappearing upon load at system startup. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. Enabling or Disabling the "Hide Inactive (tray) Icons" WinXP menu option doesn't have any effect. The only way to open ATITool after it has loaded is to go through the start menu to open it again. I have "minimize on close" selected in ATITool. When closing ATITool, you see it make the motions of minimizing to the tray area but no icon is displayed. Any ideas?
