Windows 10 tray icon missing
I have a brand new hp laptop with win10 pro. Installed dropbox latest from website but not able to get dropbox to start or show in system tray. Have disabled all AV and re moved and re installed dropbox via offline install. Now have complete formatted hp laptop and started over but same issue.
Hi Gkata,
I had this same (infuriating!) problem and fixed it thusly:
Right click on the systray area
select Properties
then select Notification area > customize
At the top there is a link to "Select which icons appear on the taskbar"
Go in there and toggle whatever setting you see for your dropbox icon.
Exit out -- should be fixed.
In my case the dropbox icon was set to "on" and I toggled it off. After exiting the dialog, I had my dropbox icon back in the "show hidden icons" area. I repeated the above and toggled the dropbox icon back to "on" and now it is back in my systray where it belongs.
I hope this helps someone.
