Hi qupear,

Please, try this version 1.7.3

Thank you very much!

Hi, I don't see such an option in v2.24.0. Is the option now hidden anywhere in this program?

[AlexanderPro]

Hi @win98se,
This option has always been only in the SmartSystemMenu.xml file (systemTrayIcon tag).

@AlexanderPro, <systemTrayIcon show="true" /> But I don't have an app icon in the system tray, including in the sub-tray. How can I display the SmartSystemMenu icon? I need to access the application settings and hide most of all items in the context menu of windows.

@Korb,

Is the icon not visible after launching SSM or after rebooting your OS? Do you use a PC or laptop?

Both.

PC.

There may be some settings on your PC that are affecting the issue. On my PC and laptop with Windows 10 everything works correctly.

On my PC and laptop with Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10.0.26200.7171 is not Windows 10, but Windows 11 25H2.

@Korb Couldn't reproduce on my desktop running Windows 11 Version 25H2 (build 26200.7171). Do you mind sending your SmartSystemMenu.xml here (if it's modified in any way)?

Thank you. It seems that your SmartSystemMenu.xml is not modified at all from SmartSystemMenu_v2.32.1.zip.

Maybe create a new temporary account, then try to launch and use SmartSystemMenu from there.

@win98se, I solved the problem this way: I booted Windows into Safe Mode, moved all the app files to another folder, copied the new version's files in their place, and rebooted normally. After that, the system tray icon appeared again, and the app settings became accessible.
