Missing notification icons in system tray

[MajorFoley]

Hey guys so my system tray recognises there should be programs in the system tray but the icons are purely blank, so i could have my battery showing my volume then an empty space where another icon should be then MSE then more blank spaces until the next one it shows.

Any fixes for this?

Hi MajorFoley,

Have you tried clearing the system tray cache?

I hope this helps!

Would there be a bat think like an icons reconstruction on this site?
Would i have to re-enable all system tray icons again?

Hi MajorFoley,

Take a look at this: How to Reset the Notification Area Icons Cache in Windows 7
Take a look at this: How to Rebuild the Icon Cache in Windows

I use CCleaner.
It is under the Windows > Advanced > Tray Notifications Cache.
If you need to download CCleaner to do this, then I strongly recommend that you untick ALL the entries within Registry. It would also be advisable to go through the different sections and untick anything else that you don't want cleaned.

I hope this helps!

Hi MajorFoley,

The links I provided [Seven Forums links] should only clear the system tray cache.
CCleaner is a bit more involved, and if you aren't happy with adjusting the settings and using it then I would suggest going with the above links!

I hope this helps!
