• Update icon is missing from the system tray

  Salvation Windows XP experts,

  My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

  Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

  What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

  There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

  http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

  So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

  (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

  What you can try:

  (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

  2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

  3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

  (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

  I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.

  Hello

  If one of the system icons is out, you can reactivate the as follows:

  Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties. This will bring up the tab "properties of menu taskbar and start. It's where you mentioned, it is gray. It is very well...  From there, you can click on Customize button in the icon section. Look for the icon that you are missing, and check the status. The type of report should read "Hide icon and notifications", change that to "Show icon and notifications".

  If this does not resolve the issue most likely you have a problem with group policy on your machine. This can be corrected by following the instructions on the following link:

• Volume icon disappears from the taskbar

  Volume icon missing on the task bar.  Seek to return so I can adjust volume when necessary

  It was with my installation of XP.  I have to open the Control Panel, uncheck the 'show' in the task bar (or system tray, whatever it may be), hit apply, then re - check and apply again.  It should appear. For a period of time.  Also started happening with my battery/power icon and the same solution worked for a while, but now it works again (just for the battery - the volume still works like that).  I had found some registry changes, but they do not seem to have worked.  Any comments would be useful.  I still have to run this laptop sometimes.

• How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

  How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

  Hello

  The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

  The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

  Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

  Here's how:

  1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

  2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

  3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

  If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  Hello

  Try this:

  Control Panel - device - sounds Manager - note manufacturer device name and info on the graduating model.
  Double click and get the date and version of the driver (if 06 are dates, you use the default windows driver). Now
  Click the DRIVER UPDATE (this can not find anything because MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Now LAW
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now, go to the manufacturer of the system and recover the last pilot audio/Hi-Fi as a fall.

  Download it - SAVE - go to where you put it - RIGHT CLICK top - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

  Now do the same for the manufacturer of the device (the one that made the device - if you were using the default windows
  you might need to look in the Device Manager - his new driver).

  Often, you will need to run the sound card drivers several times to get the latest version installed and will appear in
  Manager - Sound. This is because they make back the drivers one at a time and then finally install the
  most recent. Look in the Device Manager to be sure that you have installed the version of the driver is the one showing, if not
  run the driver again (reset each time) until the shows a correct.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• my "see the arrow of the hidden icon disappeared from my system tray. How can I get that back?

  I was trying to see the button 'remove hardware safely '. I tried a number of things on the option "see the hidden icon", like the keyboard on the touch screen. I would like to try something, apply, and cancel it. So, I tried the last option, the arrow "show the hidden icon" disappeared and I couldn't get it back.

  How can I get that back?

  for windows 8.1

  (1) open the control panel (right click on the windows icon [start] in the lower left corner of the screen and select "Control Panel" from the pop up menu)

  (2) type "notification" in the search box at the top right of the Control Panel window

  3) click "Notification area icons" in the the come up search results

  (4) at the bottom of the window that appears, uncheck the box that is always called "show all icons and notifications on the taskbar.

  Your "up arrow" ("see the hidden icons arrow) with the system status bar icons should reappear and filled with icons, giving you more space on the taskbar and a more pleasant and uncluttered appearance.
