How to unhide hidden System Tray icons on Windows 11
Do you hate having to click the little up-arrow in the System Tray to access the icons that Windows has decided to hide from you?
Well, you can easily unhide any or all of those hidden System Tray icons and keep them visible in the System Tray at all times. Here’s how:
1 – Click the up-arrow to display the hidden icons.
2 – Click on the first icon you want to unhide and drag it onto the System Tray (release the mouse button when you first see the “push-pin”).
3 – Repeat step 2 for every other icon you wish to unhide. (Note: If you move all of the hidden icons to the System Tray the dreaded up-arrow will disappear).)
That’s all there is to it. You now have the icons you use most on full display in the System Tray.
