    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!

In case anyone else is still struggling with this, I found that you can simply drag the icons from the popup menu onto the system tray and they will become "pinned" to the system tray.
It seems so obvious now, but I was getting quite frustrated not having a simple option in any of the system tray or taskbar settings to do this.

 

No need for any registry hacks and so far (2 days) the icons I want to see in the system tray have remained visible.
