Instructions on how to clear "Other system tray icons"
1. Open Task Manager: Ctrl + Shift + Esc
2. Exit (don’t restart) the Explorer shell cleanly.
3. The Taskbar and your desktop icons wouldn’t be visible now. From the Task Manager’s File menu, launch the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
4. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
5. Delete the two values, namely IconStreams and PastIconsStream. If they’re missing, proceed to the next step.
6. In addition, if using Windows 11 22H2 and higher, navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\NotifyIconSettings
7. Right-click NotifyIconSettings and choose Delete.
8. Exit the Registry Editor.
9. From the Task Manager’s File menu, launch Explorer.exe. This starts the Windows shell again.
