Hello! Recently I've noticed that some of my program icons would disappear from the Windows tray. You know, the arrow on the right side of the taskbar that can contain miniature icons of programs that mostly run in the background? Let's see an example! I start up my PC, and icons slowly start filling up the tray. We can see the icons for Realtek HD Audio driver, Nvidia Geforce Experience, Wallpaper Engine, my third-party Alarm clock program and Google Chrome (that's Infinity Tab running in the background). A few minutes later I start my TeamSpeak3 server, and its icon also shows up in the tray. But then comes the trigger. Sometimes it happens naturally, but I can recreate it manually, and the results are the same. On a rare occasion, my Windows Explorer will freeze trying to open a folder or something and decide to restart itself. Alternatively, I can restart it from the Task Manager to the same effect. After a flash of darkness, my desktop starts to "reassemble" itself. From the nothingness return the icons of Realtek HD, Wallpaper Engine, Alarm clock and Google Chrome... but where are Nvidia and TeamSpeak? They're gone! And no matter what I do, they won't appear until I kill their processes and restart them, or restart my PC, obviously. I find this unacceptable and would very much like to at least be able to fix it each time it happens, if not prevent this outright. Note that Taskbar Settings, the part where you set whether you want to show all icons in the Taskbar, is not what I'm looking for - I want the icons to show up in the Tray, not the Taskbar. Besides, messing around with it doesn't help my cause anyway. If I "turn on" showing the Realtek HD icon in the Taskbar after the aforementioned incident has happened, it will move from the Tray to the Taskbar and back to the Tray when I turn it off. But if I try to "turn on" the Nvidia or TeamSpeak icons, they are not appearing anywhere.
