So far I have run into two new issues with the system tray icons with the Windows 11 Insider Build 22581.1 released in the Beta Channel.
1. I'm not able to move system tray icons around as before
2. System tray icons are not being removed after closing the app or killing the process (*workaround is to restart the explorer.exe process for icon to be removed from tray).
I'm hoping these issues will be resolved soon.

Yeah...put this update off until I got back from vacation. Reeeeeally wishing I kept putting it off as I'm now seeing what you're seeing, which is...nothing. Nothing in the system tray...possibly not even the system tray itself as that portion of the taskbar is blank-screen black.
Fiddling with which app icons are toggled on actually changes the size of the black area, so I presume the system tray is actually 'running' to some degree, but I can't see it or interact with it. Very annoying.
I'm also seeing a 'Windows 11 Home /n Evaluation copy.Build 22581.ni_release.220318-1623' watermark in the corner of the screen which definitely wasn't there before...

WOW, so Microsoft removed a desktop feature everyone liked to improve tablet operation. Isn't there a tablet mode, is it too much to ask you to code one more line that only removed this feature in that mode? Also what's with the icons being really spaced out now, They are notification Icons they don't need massive amount of space around them at the expense of having to have 2 layers of normal Program Icons! MS, you need to get some better UI designers, this is day one stuff!

Yeah, they should be getting devs who are more up to spec for their pay grade. The current devs need to be assigned to either take out the trash, or wipe butt.
