All system tray icons now showing, even after restart, enjoy ..
THIS NEEDS TO BE MARKED AS SOLUTION!!!
Nol. It's not a solution because this only makes existing hidden icons visible. After applying this, Windows continues to hide icons from new/updated software. Running that script is the same as dragging the existing tray icons one by one out of the hidden area. When that software updates, or you get new software, the tray icon for those will become hidden again.
The real solution would be to:A. make all icons default to visible instead of default hidden or,
B. treat icons as visible even when IsPromoted is set to 0.except after every single nvidia graphics card update it still hides my discord and nvidia icons. every. time.
