How to delete duplicate System Tray Icon list from Windows 11 Settings?

Question

I just uninstalled Anydesk application from my computer and wonder why this system tray icon is still listed.

I tried removing them from the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. but it is still in the list. How to remove this?

Answer 1

Regedit and delete 2 values

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

Right click and delete IconStreams and PastIconsStream, close regedit

Go into Task Manager and restart WindowExplorer.exe

Howdy,

I tried this to no avail. Is there a way to manually see each entry in the system tray list of apps?

Thanks

Answer 2

The registry location is correct. However, it's a little bit tricky to clear the entries manually.

Please try the script method here.

I tried to manually once more and had to restart my machine to see the results. Thank you for the prompt response.

Oh btw, I posted up your excellent walkthrough on LinkedIn.
