If I disable the "Use enhanced classic taskbar" option on the Taskbar tab in StartAllBack, then reboot, the tray icons show up correctly. Can you check to see if you have that option enabled in StartAllBack? Even if StartAllBack is disabled, if that option is enabled, it's probably still loading some stuff into Explorer that's affecting this. ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#28 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:57:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#28 DisplayFusion

Ok. If you can think of any test I could do to find more info about the problem let me know. ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#27 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:09:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#27 DisplayFusion That's really weird!

The HWinfo systray icons show up in the DF taskbar... but they do not update.

This is the Windows main taskbar:

And this is the DF taskbar:
https://i.postimg.cc/B67ZSqz1/image.png


As you can see, *only* the HWinfo icons show up (none of the others do), and the tooltips work, but they show the wrong value. It's like they 'froze' at some point. Right click or double clicking on them does not work either. ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#25 Thu, 02 Nov 2023 17:44:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#25 DisplayFusion Ok yep, I can reproduce that issue here as well and have added it to our list.

Thanks! ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#24 Wed, 01 Nov 2023 21:45:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#24 DisplayFusion Yes, *and* double clicking the icons does not open the main window either... it does nothing at all, either single click or double click.

But other icons work ok, like HWinfo opening its windows. ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#23 Wed, 01 Nov 2023 20:49:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#23 DisplayFusion For me on the Windows and DF taskbar both, a single click opens the small pop-up, double-click opens the full window. Do you have the "Single click tray icons" option enabled in the System Informer settings? ]]> RE: System Tray icons on Multi-Monitor not working [SPLIT] https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#22 Wed, 01 Nov 2023 20:10:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/system-tray-icons-on-multi-monitor-not-working-split/?ID=018b2433-dae6-7617-941a-105b9584ef21#22 DisplayFusion No, clicking the icons should open the full app window, like the Windows taskbar does:

We're 0/2 on local repros for your issues in this thread so far :D

Could you create a new discussions topic for that issue and attach a debug log for it?

Also, in the other machine where the systray icons do show up, clicling the SystemInformer icons do not bring up its window, like they did before:

I don't see anything out of the ordinary there either. I'm pretty stumped on this unfortunately.

Could you try the following:

1. Download and run Process Explorer (run it as Administrator): https://download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessExplorer.zip
2. Launch one of the apps that is not getting hooked
3. Select the process name for the app that's not getting hooked in Process Explorer
4. Press Ctrl + D, it should show the loaded DLLs in the bottom pane
5. Press Ctrl + A to save the info from Process Explorer

It doesn't happen at a certain point or step. Happens all the time, even with your recent 10.1.2 beta 1.
Tray icons in DF taskbars doesn't show up at all, only the perpetual Network and Audio combo, but none of the rest.

On the right is the Windows taskbar and tray area and on the left is the DF taskbar..
