The fact that this capability was removed is one of the most bizarre choices. As one earlier poster said, an individual at Microsoft had to willingly decide to remove the ability to show all system tray icons, and then work to make it impossible using the basic settings options. Meanwhile we are spending time trying to find and test homebrew solutions to a very simple problem that they caused. The run command recommendation did not work, but dragging the icons out of the "hidden" arrow zone to the between the other visible icons does seem to work, for now.
