Solved I accidentally removed Intel Graphics from Taskbar

[ihavequestions]

Hi,

Noob user here. I accidentally removed the Intel Graphics from the bottom right taskbar and now I can't figure out how to put it back.

The igfxTray Module > Show icons and notifications is already enabled but still nothing. I even restarted the computer after enabling it but I still don't see the icon.

Can someone help me out?

It's really not needed, nor is igfxpers and one other Intel program.

Welcome to the forum,

How did you remove it?

You can use method 3 of this tutorial,

To see if it is listed under the start up tab and put a check in the box to re-enable it.

No worries ihavequestions, look here

Control Panel

Can you access it in your Control Panel?
If so, there may be an option in the program's preferences.

@Ztruker not needed for you or for me?

@derekimo thanks. I think I accidentally right clicked on the program and removed it. I just checked msconfig and the application has a checkmark. However, when I restart the computer the program doesn't load. Not sure if this matters but I checked Program Files > Start Up and didn't see the icon there.

@Dude The program has Show icon and notification but I still don't see the icon anywhere.

@lehnerus2000 I checked control panel a few times already but couldn't figure out how to put the application back on the tray.

Try to disable it in device manager, then re enable

@Dude what am I looking for in the device manager? All of the options are hardware related.

You can try right clicking on the desktop, then click screen resolution, then advanced settings,



From there you might find a Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel and a check box to enable it.

There you go! I was looking for this option awhile ago but totally forgot where to find it. Thanks for the big help!

Consider this issue resolved

Glad to hear it, you're welcome.

Glad to hear it, you're welcome.

Do you mind helping me on another topic? It's somewhat related to my previous post. Is there a way to remove (not hide) programs from the taskbar? I have two applications showing on the taskbar and I can't seem to remove them. I already uninstalled one of them but both are still showing.

 

[Dude]

Use the option explained in post number 4 and choose to hide. What programs are they?

They're already hidden but I want to remove them from the list completely. It's an application called ShareMouse. For some reason I installed the application twice. I uninstalled one of them but I can't seem to uninstall the second one.

 

[derekimo]

This should do it,
