I will try and disable display fusion and see what happens. I have hibernation disabled, so shutdown would shutdown completely. Step 2: Under the Process tab, scroll down to find Windows.
Step 1: Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu. Method 2: How to fix Taskbar Notification Icons Not Hiding Issue in Windows 10 via Task Manager. If you are still facing the same issue, move over to Method 2. The only 3rd party program I am using in Display Fusion for managing my monitors. Now, your Taskbar notifications should hide. Right now the icons are gone, when I click on the arrow it scrolls 2 at a time through the icons also they randomly show up like the screenshot shows. Turn off Use small taskbar buttons: Open settings Click personalization. I'm also curious what that arrow to the right is? It looks like it would give you the ability to scroll through your system tray icons, but I don't think I've ever seen that before. Under Notification area, click Turn system icons on or off Check Clock is turned on. In your original post you said that the taskbar icons disappeared, but in the screenshot they are there but in what I can only describe as a broken state. So something that is affecting your system tray, which I believe is linked to the explorer.exe process, will possibly still be present after 'shutting down' the computer. Then navigate to Privacy > Background Apps. Bear in mind that a shutdown doesn't do a complete shutdown, it puts the computer in to a semi-hibernation state. First, navigate to System > Notifications & actions section and check if the required notifications have been enabled.
