Erratic Behavior of System Tray

[YourWadeness]

This is my issue: When I boot the computer, all of the icons that I require
appear in the system tray. There's no problem there (in the beginning). After
using the computer for about an hour or so, some of the icons disappear from
the system tray, and go into "hide" mode.

Now, I have set the "Properties" (by right-clicking on the task bar) of
these icons to "always show." So, I would assume that the icons that I have
set to "always show" will do just that. But, that is not the case.

For whatever reason, some programs in the system tray have had their
property settings changed. I.e., when I right-click on the task bar to look
at the "Properties" that I have originally set up for the icons, the settings
have changed from "always show" to "hide when inactive."

This only happens with some of the icons at any given time. But the problem
has happened to all the icons in the system tray at one time or another.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks, so much, for your help in
this matter.

Are they there if you click the << icon to the left of the Notification
Tray?

Dear Gerry,

Thanks for your suggestion. The icons do appear when I click on the << icon
to the left of the Notification Tray. But that still does not solve my
original problem of why the icons go into "hide" mode when I didn't set it up
that way in the first place.

As I stated in my initial inquiry, I set some of the icons to "always show"
when I right-click on the task bar "Properties" menu and customize the
settings. But for some unknown reason, those same icons that I have set to
"always show," disappear into "hide" (or "inactive") mode at any given time
(usually about an hour or so after booting).

Once again, do you have any knowledge of why this is happening?

Thanks, so much, for your continued assistance.

I suspect it is as intended. It's no big deal to click on the << icon
first.
