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!

but you have to do it for each new program and this doesn't even stick (I've had Discord and other programs revert to hidden later)

But it takes less than a second to drag them into the right place. . .

But also tomorrow. And overmorrow. And the day after tomorrow. And so on.
The situation is still crazy and there is no solution.
Of course it is no problem for low-end users and I understand that Microsoft wants to hide the icons for a clean look. As a standard setting I fully agree with Microsoft.
But for advanced users who have to test and/or reinstall some applications very often or if they have to take a look at the information that the icons changes it is totally crazy that they have to do it again and again and again.
I really hope that microsoft will delete the key combination CTRL+A in Windows 12 because then we have to select each file separately and it only takes one second per icon 🙂- brainamessNov 03, 2023Copper Contributor
lord1024 I truthfully think that it's a bad practice to hide what is running in the taskbar for the average user. I truthfully don't care that I have to jump through hoops to show all icons personally, I think it sucks for the average user the most.
I do agree with everyone commenting for sure.
