Notification Icons Missing On Reboot?
Jun 3, 2011
I am having a few problems with some of my notification area icons.
Some of the programs I have set to start of boot (not very many I might add) aren't loading their icons in the notification area. However, if I log off, and log back on again, they appear again. Same if I restart explorer.exe.
I have tried clearing the cache (works until a reboot), and various other methods I have found online, all doing similar things. And while they work after a log off, to explorer.exe restart, they will not work after a fresh reboot. I have also run sfc /scannow and it finds no violations. Is there anyway to replace my explorer.exe from an SP1 extraction?

Just started having a small problem with icons not showing in the notification area. The programs are running (or so Task Manager tells me), but I am unable to open a program that does not show its icon.
One program is SUPERAntiSpyware. I have it set to run a scan each night and I usually click on the icon the notification area to see results. Also use Karen's Replicator to backup some data each night.
how do I get these icons back in place?

How to Hide or Show System Icons and Notifications in Windows 7 ?

I have 2 issues with the notification area and trying to get settings to stay after restarting the computer. My office is deploying its first year of Windows 7 Pro systems and we make an excessive use of the Group Policy feature "Run only allowed Windows Applications." My first issue with the notification area comes to quick access to the management utility. If I click the arrow to view all of the hidden icons and click the Customize option, I get the message that the "Administrator has prohibited the use..." of that feature. I can go to the control panel and access the notification area through there though. I have also elevated my user rights to administrative for unrestricted access to get to the menu from either the Customize option or control panel.Now no matter which method I use to get to the notification area options, I can make the necessary changes and updated, I see the icons that I want to see and hide the ones that I don't want to see. After I restart the computer and sign back in, all of the notification area icons are right back to how they were before I made my customizations, and I can't figure out how to prevent this from happening.

I have completely removed several apps using Revo Uninstaller so I know its been completely removed, yet somehow it still remains in the Notification Area Icons area...(The place to turn the icons on or off....) Is there any way to clean this up so the old icons from applications that at one point were installed but arent?

My 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.

Click on 'Show more Icons' on the Taskbar, then click 'Customize...'Now at the bottom of the Dialog click the link 1. 'Turn system icons on or off' then in the following Dialog (at the bottom again) click the link 2. 'Customize notification icons' again, - now just keep repeating doing steps 1 and 2 for a couple of times, THEN try clicking the 'Cancel' Button - and see how many times it takes to close the Dialogs? On the first time you click The 'Cancel Button' it should close the Dialog - right?But instead it takes a couple of 'Cancels'?

Somehow, while configuring my new Win 7 laptop, I have deleted all my notification icons.They aren't hidden, they are gone.If I right click the taskbar and go to customize, they are all listed, but grayed out so I can't check them.

My notification area will not stay customized. I have set 5 icons to always show, but after a windows update, scan by MSE or even after a reboot, the area changes back to the default of only showing the volume and action center flag.Is there a setting anywhere to "keep" the customize settings?

I have the problem that my program is shown there but i can't set it to "Show Icon and Notification". Every time i close the program and open it again, the settings are the default "Only show notifications". Is there a work around to force this? And NO i don't want to check the options "Always show all Icons and notifications on the taskbar"

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:

I have this very weird problem in which the 'Notification Area Icons' Window automatically pops up right after Windows Boots. Usually it shows after a minute or so after windows boots. Even if i keep my computer idle it shows up automatically (but only following a boot). This is irritating me quite a lot
I tried re - installing Windows but still the problem persists. I have a IBM Thinkpad T510 loaded with Windows 7 professional 32 bit. I googled this qute a lot but could not find a fix.

As the title said there is just no notification area arrow. I right clicked task bar> properties> "notification area" customize and all i see is nothing in the box. It says at the top. some settings can only be managed by your system admin, well i AM the system admin. it was showing up earlier and all i did was update windows and poof arrow gone and when i minimize things they disappear.

Some of the icons normally showing what a program type is are missing now. I HAVE all the DESKTOP icons and those in the system tray. But in Windows Explorer lists or in Word Perfect and Word lists of file names, many of the small icons that normally appear next to a program's name, or showing what type of document or file it is, are now missing. Not all, just some. I have mostly open square boxes. It doesn't matter whether I'm looking at a list of files I've created, or looking at the items in various system folders: most are just empty open squares instead of the individual icons. I have Windows 7 64-bit OS , both Mozilla 17 and IE9 browsers.

Like I said in the subject, the desktop icons rearrange themselves every other reboot. Not every time, but occasionally and quite often, often enough to annoy me.
I have a 30" screen 2560x1600 and I keep a lot of icons on the desktop. I have to keep arranging them.
All settings are configured correctly. In Personalize>Desktop Icons - auto arrange icons is unchecked. The OS restarts correctly so I'm not sure what is causing this problem, but it's getting on my nerves.

It all started with my computer booting to a black screen (although you could see the mouse cursor) After doing a restore through safe mode everything I loaded went to black screen. Even command prompt. So I got out the CD's to reboot from and did the whole recovery thing which went fine until the end of the 2nd CD then gave me an error. I did this 3 times and same thing, So I thought I would just do a total reformat as my computer was slow anyway and needed to start fresh. Well same thing happened. End of 2nd CD error now when I load from the CD's I dont get the option to fix computer. Now when I reboot I get the BOOTMGR Missing message. I saw a link for comman propt to do a bootrec /fixbootBut I cannot get it to come up at all.

with a little internet problem on a Windows 7 professional system.
Essentially, last week after an Update, I could not get back onto my driver (the hard drive is partitioned so I have a section and my other half has another). A system restore to the previous day has allowed me to access the computer again, but the internet is gone.
The OH can use the internet on the same computer (I am on his half now), so there is no fault with the modem, the cable or the internet connection per se. We have tried to restore the internet using various manual methods, but can get no further than the SetUp. At this point we get a message Error 711, and reports that the Remote Access Auto Connection Manager is not responding.
I have tried to fix this today, but cannot get onto the services to fix it - when I click on Services and go to 'run as admin', the message appears "Class not Registered". I have also had this message when trying to connect the internet by writing a manual IP address, and when looking for the IP drivers.
The OH is threatening F*kdisk which would mean I lose everything on the drive, but I do not have another solution.

after installing Windows 7 64bit, I start suffering from the next message:
windows 7 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>system32
toskrnl.exe
This issue continue occuring even after I tried several repairs of the OS. The strange thing is that only happen if remove the original disk from the DVD reader. If I leave the cd, the error does not occurred and the windows reboot normally.

I have Autoruns on my system and trying to speed things up a bit I went in to tweak a little and turn off some start-up items. Apparently I turned off something that I need but don't know what it is to turn it back on.Now when I boot up, I get my wallpaper on my desktop....but no shortcut icons. They come up when I right click the desk top.
