"Show all icons in system tray" option in windows11
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!
Most applications that have a tray icon also have an option for "hide tray icon". I don't need microsoft to force hide the **bleep** tray icons.
Microsoft keeps adding stupid crap like this to windows instead of streamlining existing stuff. I get why... it's easier to add new code than it is to fix existing, but come on they're just shoveling crap on top of crap instead of fixing stuff, so the OS UI elements become a sluggish mess.
Satya, fix your company.
$RegistryPath = 'HKCU:\Control Panel\NotifyIconSettings'
$Name = 'IsPromoted'
$Value = '1'
Get-ChildItem -path $RegistryPath -Recurse | ForEach-Object {New-ItemProperty -Path $_.PSPath -Name $Name -Value $Value -PropertyType DWORD -Force }
All system tray icons now showing, even after restart, enjoy ..
this is the solution, the other one does not work (anymore)
You are a saint, my good sir. Thank you.
Will new systray icons added automatically be displayed after this, or should I run this as a scheduled task?
Unfortunately, this will only toggle all "current" icons known in the tray.
New icons that appear will not be shown by default.
However... this can be saved as a script that is run automatically at login, so that each time you log in, it checks and forces each known tray icon to be shown.
You could, in theory, set it to run every hour, but... that'd be a bit much.
Here's hoping some kind soul in the shell dev team brings back the "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" option for Windows 11. 😶
Thank you! You're a legend! IT WORKS!
Ok it's not yet the old setting "show all, all the time", but it's pretty darn close <3
Only which worked for me, thx.
