System tray icons appear and disappear seemingly at random and especially
after re-booting. I have certain icons set to be "always visible" in the
toolbar/properties/customize menu, yet they often aren't there, hidden or
otherwise. The volume icon is one example. No malacious viruses per NAV.
Please help.

Disabling "SSDP Discovery Service" and "Universal Plug and Play Device Host" has worked for me so far after two successful reboots. I went to-- start/run --then typed-- msconfig --once the "System Configuration Utility" opened, I clicked the "services" tab and unchecked "SSDP Discovery Service" and "Universal Plug and Play Device Host.

I've had this problem for a couple of years now. I hope this work around is good for the long run because the problem bugged me so much lol.
