After going to build 10041 I now have to use the 'Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar' option otherwise I can see no system tray icons except for the system icons. The 'show hidden icons' arrow is present but doesn't respond at all (i.e. the overflow area does not appear).

I have cleared the notification area cache but still no joy. Anyone else get this or have any ideas?

Ok well I upgraded from Win7 Home Prem to 9926 (didn't realise it was only core at that point). I couldn't get the 10041 to appear as update so I upgraded to TP Pro from the 9926 ISO which then allowed the 10041 update - after which this problem first appeared.

As there's been no response I guess nobody else got this issue (and no suggestions of a fix) so when I get back home I'm just gonna fresh install from 9926 ISO and then u/g to 10041 again. Hopefully this will have a 'cleaner' result.

Ok well that is interesting.

I have just done a clean EFI install of 9926 from the iso and then upgraded to 10041. Systray was all back to normal.

Just getting everything 'back to normal' and just noticed the tray is back to playing up again!

One of 2 things - had just installed Steam so maybe it's that. Also have noticed the NVidia driver updated to 349.90 and by default in the nvidia control panel>desktop menu the item 'Show Notification Tray Icon' is ticked and I cannot un-tick it. I don't know if this is cause or effect or completely unrelated.

I should have been paying more attention as to when the systray went freaky again but I really thought it was a result of the previous upgrades and after it worked fine after the initial return to 10041 I thought it was solved.

edit: the other suspect is the Realtek HD Audio manager

      Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.
