Worryingly, another Reddit user suggests that: “News and interests causes this when its disabled. I’m assuming it’s because it forces the taskbar to be redrawn.” After the taskbar is redrawn, toggle the setting again. Toggle the setting for ‘Use small taskbar buttons’. However, there are also reports claiming that just turning off the News widget on the taskbar will cure the icon corruption issues, a much simpler fix.Ī possible workaround is described by ‘old_old_geek’ on Reddit: “After booting has finished, right click on the taskbar and select Taskbar settings.

Several potential easy fixes for the issue have been pointed out though, and one we’ve already mentioned: simply uninstall KB5003214. Of course, preview updates are still in testing, so it’s not surprising that there might be problems – though these sound like some particularly frustrating niggles to still be left in at this point. There are also some users experiencing display scaling issues which could be related to KB5003214, and again there’s a thread on Reddit where folks are complaining about the icon for the new feature looking fuzzy or out of focus. PPopup->TrackPopupMenu ( TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON,pt.x, pt.A denizen of Reddit also reported ‘graphical issues’ with the taskbar’s system tray being messed up, or even vanishing entirely. So the question is what is the right way to program showing tray context menu’s for windows 10? I have tried with the NotificationIcon sample from the windows SDK but this also does not work correctly. The Windows Sound and Network icons will hide the taskbar while showing a regular right click menu, but keeping the start menu open. The Windows Time and Language parts of the system tray will show menus on top of the taskbar with the new windows 10 layout (black) I can also see that there are lots of other application like “Skype for business” and “Radeon Settings” that does the same thing.įor the build-in windows 10 applications this works better. I have tried with different full screen application like internet explorer, Notepad++ but the same thing happens. When it is not a full screen application that in in front the menu is correctly shown on top of the taskbar and I have also testes on windows 7 where it works fine with full screen application. In some cases, the menu is so low that it is not possible to select the lowest menu item in the context menu. Then when I right click the icon the menu will show up behind(under) the windows taskbar.

I have found that if I have a full screen application running and then use alt + esc to get to the tray icon. When you right click the tray icon it shows a menu where the user can select an action. I have an application with an icon in the system tray.
