Win10 Hiding Tray Icons
-
I'm all Googled out on this one - the Win10 settings that are supposed to hide your tray icons don't work on my new machine. I can hide or show system icons, like the volume control, but application icons will not hide. No matter what I do, I can't get the system tray expansion area to appear. Any one else had this and figured it out?

I assume you've checked that "Always show all icons in the notification area" is set to "Off"? :)

Yes...it doesn't seem to matter what I set the visibility settings to, the only thing that makes a difference to the tray is the showing/hiding of system icons. Does it depend on something else I wonder? I have all the 'extra' taskbar things turned off and/or uninstalled (toolbars, taskview, people, search, Cortana, OneDrive, all the system icons, bar volume), I'm also running Classic Shell and UltraMon with extra taskbars on my secondary monitors.

Why are you doing that? Win 10 provides a taskbar for every monitor already.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
