Unwanted system tray items

Similar Questions

• my computer has two network icons, 1394 and con LAN. Either, especially the icon of LAN began to move to items being passed in the system tray when I start the computer.

  I have a new and strange behavior on my computer. Until recently, the two icons, 1394 connection and LAN icons always used to appear in the whole system tray after the computer has been started. Is no longer the case. Whenever I start the computer, I don't see the icon of LAN but discover that it attributed to items passed. Then I open the properties of the network connection, uncheck 'Show the icon in the system tray', click Apply + OK, then I open the properties, check the box again, click Apply + OK; only the LAN icon is displayed in the system tray. I'd appreciate any help with this problem. The situation is sometimes the reverse case, i.e., LAN icon appears in the system tray, but I find the icon to connect 1394 points ago. I put the properties in the Start Menu, the toolbar always showed.

  I have a strange element in the system tray. It looks like a program is open in the background, but when I click on it nothing happens.  It doesn't have a name. Make a right click will not bring a menu that normally does any open program that allows you to close it.  If I let you hover the icon pointer made burst the mini image of a window to the top, but it's mostly white, but with a small rectangle expose in the middle with two smaller rectangles blue/green in the small rectangle. If I click on the pop up image it closes but the file remains in my taskbar.

  See if the system restore will remove the strange icon.
  Choose a date of when this icon was NOT there and the use of this date as your restore point.

  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish

• On the system tray notifications do not appear.

  I have no idea why, but in my system tray notifications is more "pop up."  I still hear the sound and see the incontinence system tray, but the pop-up with the notification is no longer there.  For example, when a new version of windows is available, I see just the Update icon but not the box pop up.

  Someone know why it happened or how do I restore the pop up notifications?  I have a Dell Lattitude D630 and am running Windows 7 Professional.  Thank you!

  Hello Nemo959,

  First of all, although you have gone through the notification tray properties, you may have turned off individual items in the center of the action?

  -Click on the Start button

  -Center of action type in the search box of the start menu

  -Click Action Center in the results

  -The click Change Action Center settings

  In addition, make sure that you have no notifications of ball off the power.

  -Click on the Start button

  -Type gpedit.msc in the search box on the start menu

  -Click Gpedit in results

  In the Local Group Policy Editor:

  -Left pane navigate to User Configuration > administrative templates > Start Menu and taskbar

  -Locate Turn off all balloon notifications > right click > click on change

  This value Disable > click OK > close the local Group Policy Editor

  Restart and test to determine if this solves your problem.

• Parameters of system tray icons keep the reset after reboot

  Hello

  My system tray icon settings are lost whenever I restart my laptop.

  I tried to reset all settings, I tried to install the experimental fix Windows6. 1 KB979155-x 64.msu nothing works.

  I also tried the following registry settings that now I have no more than two keys mentioned and I do not know if they had to be re-created after I cancelled them.

  1. Click Start , type regedit in the Search box and press ENTER.

     If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click allow .

  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
     Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  3. In the Details pane, click the IconStreams registry entry.
  4. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
  5. In the Details pane, click the PastIconsStream registry entry.
  6. On the Edit menu, click delete , and then click Yes .
  7. Exit Registry Editor.
  8. Restart the Explorer.exe process. To do this, follow these steps:
     1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.
     2. On the process in the Task Manager tab, click the process explorer.exe and then double click on end process .
     3. On the file menu, click new task (run) , type Explorer and click OK .
     4. Exit Task Manager.

  The only option is either to have all the icons in the sawn system tray which takes 3\4 of my task bar or do them all hidden which is a pain in the neck because I have to open the "new taskbar" every time.

  I hope someone can help me.

  Thank you :D

• I only use Skpe occasionally, and I'm not always present in my system tray

  I just got a new computer (Windows 7), and it is time to reload Skype. But I very rarely use Skype, and I don't want to take up space in my system tray. I don't want it displayed every time that I reboot. Skype is VERY useful when I need, but I don't need that rarely. How can I fix it so it wouldn't be here unless I need?

  Open tools-> Options-> General settings. Uncheck the option: "Start Skype when I start Windows". Save the settings.

  To stop the Skype to run on your computer, right-click on the Skype icon in the system tray and select exit.

  Windows 10

  Skype 7.8.0.102

  The Skype icon in my system tray does not automatically change its status online when I turn on my computer. Instead, I have to right-click, coup in line and change it myself. Once it is on it changes its status from a distance and online automatically when I leave and return to the computer. What can I do so that it changes automatically online when I turn on my computer first?

  Thank you.

• No display in the system tray

  Yes... I do not have the sound display in the system tray where I normally see how strong the tones are when I adjust with the little weel on laptops from toshiba for the volume (simple, but good idea ^ ^)--i do not know why I see TI - if I click with the right button on the other system of symbols and go into the settings for them , I see, I have enable all (from 4) symbol system, except the volume symbol, who is nicknamed more gray, so I can't take it I see it in the system tray!
  How can I re-enable? (I also try a system recovery and search in the service-i do not get this button in my taskbar!)

  Hi mate,

  usually you will need to go to the audio properties and there is an option (check box) where you can check/uncheck the 'volume control see in the status bar"or something that sounds similar. : D
  This box should be ticked, and you have to press 'Apply '.

  That's all, there is no other options, just the one in the audio properties.

  Do you have sound?

• Equium A60-191: application control status of the battery in the system tray?

  I had to reinstall XP. This has caused the loss of pilots and probably other things that I don't know.

  One of the elements lack seems to be the software or driver? for the battery. The battery is cooler at full power. The software located in the system tray used to indicate the power status and if it is ac or dc connected.

  Any suggestions that I need and where I can get to fix this, please?

  Hello

  I know you don t need the drivers or software for charge the battery to full power. Only what you need is the Toshiba Power saver utility.
  This utility is very useful because you can set different power for portable use different modes. For example, if you disconnect the laptop computer of the energy-saving AC adapter will automatically switch to the mode of energy that has been configured for the use of the battery.
  These methods help take care of the battery and increases battery life and it shows a battery status in the taskbar
  But there is nothing to recharge the battery witch.

  In my manual, I found a lot of info on the battery and how to manage the use of the battery. I think that the same information you will find in your user manual. Check it out.

  The last possibility is a malfunction of the battery.
  But in this case only a battery replacement will solve your problem.

  If you want you can try to check if the same thing happens with the new battery.

• NB200 - Notifications in the system tray area

  Every few seconds I get an annoying popup notification in the system tray area that informs me of the 'blocked events' these are events all IPv4 TCP or UDP. I really want to turn off these notifications, but despite a vast internet searching I can't find out how to do this. I tried the Action Center and tried the obvious firewall settings, but nothing will stop them. I find them very boring.

  I have a 12W NB200 running Windows 7 Home Prmium (a recent update from Windows 7 Starter Edition). -the problem occurs in both versions. Initially, I used installed but uninstalled McAfee security suite and am using 2009 F-secure Internet security suite for which I have a valid license.
  The system is connected wireless to my BT Home hub router and is connected through the homegroup for two PC. The other two computers are connected through ethernet cables to the router and both run on Windows 7 Home Premium with Avira internet security. I don't get the pop-ups on these machines.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  AE

  Which program generates alerts - are you sure its f-secure or would it be the widows firewall or mcafee? I don't know anything about f-secure (other than I couldn't find a manual 2009 on their website), but I would say that it will keep a diary of events and when you get close to the 'variant' that appears (and I expect clears) you will also find an option on the display of the event.

  Re my comment about this program is-are you happy that you have removed any trace of mcafee? Have you run msconfig and looked at the services and startup for any trace tabs? Also look in the Manager of tasks for all traces: in the services tab, click description to sort and search for mcafee from the similar description in the process but I think that you would have never had 1 entry of mcafee.

  I think that this should have been the first para. Have you created/modified the firewall rules? The log file must provide the ip address of the event source and which is in the range of ip addresses of your network domestic? and since you are a bt customer internet you have a bt vision pvr and who is the source?

• System tray clock

  I have a HP Pavilion laptop with Win7 - 64 Home g6.

  The clock in the system tray is not keeping time. It stops at the time that I finally used the laptop.

  Any suggestions on what else to try?

  And also computer stop in middle of a session.

  Follow the instructions in the link that I provided. The sheep of dust on the \exhause of admission and the fins of the heatsink cleaning CPU\video may well resolve the shutdown problem that you are experiencing.  Which is probably caused by the higher than normal time CPU. It is certainly not a good thing.

  The RTC battery should be replaced so that the chip of the BIOS CMOS hold real time clock settings.

• Satellite1900 dull display at startup of the system + lack of functions in the system tray

  Satellite 1900-803 OS - XP - Home (SP2) has developed an error at startup, it starts, but has the matte screen (the equivalent of the lowest screen brightness setting) and a few icons missing in the system tray in the task bar, (ie. icon remove a security device, mousepad icon & hide the unused icon button), only fix I found is to do a system restore , that everything returns to normal, icons etc, restored once the screen not more problems occur even after hibernation, (restore point should be a point of automatic system generated manually created)

  Have you checked the drivers to display, bios updates, control panel in utilities to display etc., all seem correct and up-to-date, can anyone help, I checked the forums but not found anything similar, I checked, the reset screen FL inverter connections, but no change, dysfunction on AC or battery.
  suspect a software problem? BIOS problem?
  machine is 4 years old, and no real probs so far a complete system don't have reinstall (to the iradicate virus that I couldn't get rid of all ok after that, enough compatent during the disassembly of the machine and basic repairs but depths of software are becoming my cleats of knowhow:D about 1 year ago

  Hello

  I read a few topics on missing icons in the system tray. It seems that it s is a windows bug.
  Please check these messages from the forum:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=14392
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15065

  Maybe it helps.

  I can t say too much on the matte screen. Of course, if the Fl inverter is dead the display appears dull but you issue sounds a little different. The problem doesn't persist all time. That's why I think that it s not a frequency inverter. Usually, the Toshiba power saver is responsible for the brightness of the screen. You should check the settings of the single power supply modes. Maybe you switched between different modes of energy and the brightness of the screen has also been changed.

• System tray icon says no connection... but I am connected

  I don't know if there is a way to solve this problem, but the system tray says I am not connected.  When you look at the network it shows my name of computers, a red x and the internet symbol is grayed out.  But when you click the icon with the yellow star in it it shows that I am connected correctly and the connection is full strength.  I have been using the internet like this for a week or so... I was wondering if there is a way to get the system tray icon to give a true reading.

  Thank you in advance, and if this has been requested before you please allow me to get in the right direction to read this thread.

  Thank you.
