    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!

You need almost nothing. Just leave the EnableAutoTray with value 0 (in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer), and all icons will be in the taskbar. You can check it with explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9} It must be checked. Good luck.

That is incorrect, at least for me - EnableAutoTray in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer is set to 0 as you stated, but the tray icons are not all showing. Especially if there is a new icon from a new update to a program or a newly installed program.
