I've had this issue for a long time and it is that the volume icon wont show up at the bottom right of my screen for my pc, i go to activate it from control panel and its greyed out. I have tried other methods like restarting explorer or going into regedit and doing a bunch of stuff.

All my icons are gone in my system tray. I'm using windows 7 SP1. I've tried registry fixes, restarting explorer, turning off PNP services, a system restore, etc., without success. The thing is that the icons reappear very briefly while I'm logging off and if for any reason the logging off is delayed while windows is trying to close programs and then I cancel the logging off, the icons manage to stay. But they disappear again in the next log-on. I'm trying to avoid a re-install ....

View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday I've formatted my PC and installed Windows 7 again. Everything is fine, however, some tray icons are missing, like Comodo Firewall and Realtek HD Audio tray icons. Could this be related to some Windows Updates or something? I checked Task Manager and the program processes were running (Comodo/Realtek), just the tray icons were missing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a malware that I got rid of, but it deleted many parts of the registry.I was able to find the missing parts and recover them. Only thing still not working is the action center icon in the taskbar. In the system icon activation screen, the action center activate/deactivate option is greyed out. I checked with gpedit.msc, but nothing is set there. I also tried sfc/scannow but it does not recreate missing registry parts.

These relate to the Vaio power management. I did think that it might be a cache problem so I ran the icon cache clearer found here Notification Area Icons - Reset

I have a fully updated Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 and sometimes some icons don't appear in the system tray when I boot up my PC. Then I have to reboot it in order to get them to show up. They are all set to "Show icon and notifications" in the notification are.So why is that happening and how can I solve it so that they would appear every time I boot up my PC?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy friend had an issue where he recently installed a program, and then went on to uninstall it. He cleaned out all the registry issues and leftover files. However, in his notification tray (Windows 7 Professional), the app icon remains. Not in the actual notification tray, given that the app never does anything. When he goes to the little arrow, and then hits "Customize", the app shows up. Is there any way to get rid of it manually?He's already reinstalled/re-uninstalled the program. Didn't work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed the latest bluetooth drivers from the ASUS website for my P8Z68-V PRO because I was getting an unknown device showing up in my device management which, by process of elimination, I knew was onboard bluetooth. Now, on startup I get two bluetooth icons in my system tray; however, when I hover over one it dissapears - but it always appears when I reboot.I couldn't seem to find the root of the second bluetooth icon. There is only one bluetooth device now and no unknown since I installed the driver and I can't seem to find anything in programs list etc. to remove. Why is the icon appearing and how do I eliminate the problem? (it still apears if I select hide icon and notifications in customize system tray)

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I noticed that two unknown icons now show up in my system tray, having icon graphics of "A" "9". Double clicking on them, right-clicking, or simply hovering my mouse over them unfortunately does nothing -- I don't know what they are. I'm concerned they could be something malicious. Please see the attached screenshot that shows these 2 icons. I've also attached another screenshot showing all processes in the Task Manager.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is one of those things that could be worded in so many ways, there may be a solution out there but I have no idea what phrasing may have been used in such a case. Basically, I recently switched to using a vertical taskbar on the left side, more workable area on widescreen monitors. I love it so far, except for the change in system tray behavior. They're doubled up, which is fine, but if I have an odd number of icons it disturbs my general arrangement. This is hugely annoying for me as I frequently use the system tray to open multiple applications I always have open in the background, such as IRC or AIM.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 SP1, 32bit on my laptop. I have both wired connection, and wireless connection. It may not make much sense to have both active, but at times I do.
When I have both wired and wireless connected, why do I not have both the wired and wireless icons in the sys tray?
Is there any way to "turn on" these icons? In the taskbar properties notification area, I have "always show all icons" checked.
I have been noticing a strange problem with my Win 7 64bit. It does not happen every day, maybe once a week or so.
When I boot up the system and the desktop loads, I noticed that all (6 ) of my security (AVG, ZA, SpyBot etc.) program icons in the system tray notification area (next to the clock) don't load. (Program tray .exe files are not being loaded on start-up) I get the network, power, volume icons but nothing else. I should see 6 icons for my security and other start up programs I have loaded, but they don't show. I have to reboot the system three or four times before the tray icons will show. I also have to do a defrag to fix the problem as well. The system works fine otherwise. The security programs run fine when they are loaded, so they are not the problem.
Like I said, the problem of "missing system tray icons" only happens once a week or so. YES I DO have tray notification set to ON. (That is the first place I looked) So that is not the problem. I tried logging off and back on as administrator. Did not work.
Here is a copy of the event log when it last happened:

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I make tray icons behave like in Windows XP, when "Hide inactive icons" is ON? I only see options to show all icons which is equivalent to unchecking "Hide inactive icons" in XP. And also options for each tray icon whether to always show it with notification, hide icon and show notification only and hide both icon and notification. But how to make them hide when inactive and unhide after if there is activity with them?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe little popup box in the tray that comes up when you hit the up arrow (to "Show hidden icons") is bugging me. It seems to have a timer built in that hides it a couple seconds after you click on one of the icons inside. This really bugs me. I would prefer that it either hide itself immediately after I click on one of the icons (but not if I right click one, obviously) or else lets me hide it by clicking directly on it somewhere. I know I can hide it by clicking on the arrow again, but some of my tray applications (namely my Portable Apps Launcher) minimize again if I click that arrow, leaving me with no other option than to wait for that annoying box to hide itself and get out of the way.
