Two Identical System Tray Icons

[poolmon]

My Win 7 64 bit computer currently shows 2 identical icons in the lower right system tray for the weekly microsoft/windows updates that are available. Previously, whenever an update was availabe an icon would show. This week there are 2 identical icons. My updater is set to notify me when updates are available but not to download or install them. I have downloaded and installed all the critical updates this week. The icons currently still being displayed only relate to optional updates that I do not want to install currently.

Why are there 2 icons? And, how do I eliminate one without installing the optional updates?

Hello poolmon

This is usually just caused by the system tray icons messing up which happens from time to time. This should solve your issue - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/13102-notification-area-icons-reset.html
