Windows 11 Insider Preview 22610.1 (ni_release)

I installed Windows 11 Insider Preview 22610.1 (ni_release) last Friday and the "^" symbol (hidden icons on system tray) vanished.  Is this deliberate or what?  How do I get it back?

    It came back with the update issued today.  Thanks all.  StealUrKill_PhD

It seems it is the Icon cache having issues. you can open an admin command prompt and do use these commands and it will come back.

 

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
cd %homepath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
del *.db
explorer.exe

    Hello, it is May 5, I am still on 22610.1 beta release installed 5/2/2022. There is no system tray ^ for showing my running applications. It seems this broke with the latest update? All of the temporary solutions posted here did not help me fix it.
