My notification arrow is missing

[Rose1]

My notification arrow is missing. The tutorial is not the missing arrow though. My arrow still not showing up.

Hello Rose,

If you mean the arrow like below, then the arrow will only show if you have a notification area icon set to be hidden instead of "Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar".

No help. 2 of my icons is not currently active. Could that be why the arrow not showing up?

 

[Brink]

Please go ahead and post a screenshot showing what you mean by "2 of my icons is not currently active" to see what this is.

I meant when I click on window manager and windows update on notification area I click on the arrows to show icons and notifications on both it says not active.

Go ahead and reset your notification area to see if that may help.

If not, then go ahead and post a screenshot showing this to see if it may help reveal what the issue may be.

:ar: Click rb: button, type icons, and then click Notification Area Icons.

:ar: Find the icons for Power and Volume, then make sure both are set to Show icon and notifications.

:ar: Near the bottom of that same window, click Turn system icons on or off.

:ar: Again, find the icons for Power and Volume , and make sure both are set to On.

:ar: Click OK to exit.

Restart PC and let us know the results.

I'm talking about the arrow. The icons are showing on my taskbar. If you read my first post.

I set mine to show all icons, that way I have no arrow.

According to Microsoft, if you have no arrow there then you have no hidden icons.

Change how icons appear in the notification area

Read the second entry "view hidden icons"

Hope this helps.

Arrow didn't come back. The windows manager and windows update not showing on the notificationr area.

Rose,

The arrow like above will not show there unless you have a hidden icon like in the tutorial above.

Windows Update will not display an icon in the notification area unless you have Windows Updates available to install, or have updates currently installing.

Windows Manager (Windows Explorer or Task Manager?) will only display an icon in the notification area if you have an issues with it or message.

Brink means to say Windows update WON`T show an icon unless there`s an update to install or is installing an update, right Shawn ? But you get the jist of it.

Rose, post us a pic of your notification area, using the snipping tool.

As stated, if you have no hidden icons there will be no arrow. If you have hidden icons then you will have an arrow. (or if theres an update from windows ready) DO you have hidden icons?

If neither case is true then we need a screenshot to see what you're talking about.

Example, this is what mine looks like with hidden icons, note the arrow:



THIS is what it looks like with no hidden icons, no arrow :
