"Show all icons in system tray" option in windows11
Hello there. Subject said that all. This option was available till windows10 in taskbar and start menu settings, but in windows11, I found a settings to enable notification icons one by one, and not ...
To always show all the Icons in the System Tray or Notification area of Windows 11/10, follow these steps:
1. Press Win+R to open the Run prompt.
2. Enter this value: explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
3. Tick the Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar checkbox.
4. Click the OK button.Hope this helps everyone!
Works with: Windows 10/11 (but you can use the Task Bar setting in W10)
Steps:
- Click the up-arrow in the icon tray to show the hidden icons.
- Left click the icon you want visible in the icon tray and drag it up-and-out of the icon tray.
- While still dragging the icon, drop it onto the visible area of the icon tray.
That's it. The icon will remain visible after a restart (tested).
And no, I too had no idea you could do this (even in W10). I found the answer on an MS Support page:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/customize-the-taskbar-notification-area-e159e8d2-9ac5-b2bd-61c5-bb63c1d437c3
And yes, it was driving me nuts too.
- man... BIG THANK YOU, crazy thing with this windows 11..... thanks !
and microsoft devs... really ?! wake up please.
