Hi,
I have a Packard Bell EasyNote TE69KB computer, running on windows 8 OEM, updated to windows 8.1.
Ever since I updated to windows 8.1, I have had an issue (non vital, I admit, but a dreary bore) with my systray.
On most reboots (but not all) and start ups, I have had a problem with the following icons :
2 program icons : Secunia PSI and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit;
2 system icons : the volume and action center icons.
Concerning the system icons :
In the customizing panel, I have opted to be always visible, as well as their notification. Yet, most of the time when I reboot, or start up the system, they don't appear in the systray and when I go into the panel where you can press on a button to enable or disable those system icons, the button is greyed up, so I can't enable them thus.
I can revive the volume icon by rebooting Explorer in the Task Manager every time that icon disappears, which is getting rather tedious and makes me dread every reboot or start up. Besides, my two program icons will then disappear from the systray!
As to the action center, nothing I do will make it reappear and theenable button will stay greyed out until it's decided to show itself again in its own good time!
Concerning the program icons :
They mostly vanish on reboot, but another reboot will have them reappear. But then, my volume icon disappears! If I reboot Explorer in the Task Manager to revive my volume icon, they disappear! If I want to see their state, I have to go into the customization panel to do so (practical isn't it?)
To sum up my problem :
I have to choose between my program and volume icons on reboot or start up, I can't have them all, even if I choose to have all icons appear in the systray : that will only add up OneDrive and Bluetooth icons, but not solve the problem. As to the action centre icon, it has a mind of its own!
This is both a silly and infuriating issue, contrary to the purpose of the systray and its customization possibilities!
Concerning the volume icon, it's not a new problem to boot, from what I read on the Internet, though I never encountered that issue on XP, Seven or even windows 8 : it started with the windows 8.1 update.
Therefore, I'd be more than thankful for any once and for all solution for all my systray icons problem.
Thanks for reading me.
I wish all of you a nice weekend!
