    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!

Powershell as admin:

$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 ..

We can already do this without a script. You click the "Show Hidden Icons" caret and drag the icons into the tray, it will set IsPromoted to 1 behind the scenes. Once a program IsPromoted, it will always show the icon, even after restart.

The problem is, if you get new programs that have icons, they will not show because they default to IsPromoted=0.
