Hi @AndreasAagaard-4769

The icon pic is not clear.
Is this icon shows on taskbar ?
what happens if you click on it ?

Hi @KarlieWeng-MSFT

I know the pitcture isn’t very clear, the reason being it is zoomed in quite far.
This icon is there under the hidden icons (where the windows security and stuff is)
I can click the little arrow to open up the overview, although as soon as I move my mouse while the overview is open it suddenly disappears so there is no way for me to click on it.
I’ve tried to search the task manager, and I have even gone so far as to reverse image search the icon, still no answers.
Hope this clears things up

Hello @AndreasAagaard-4769

Does the icon appears in Safe mode or clean boot?
If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue.

1.Press the Windows logo key + R.
2.Type msconfig in the Open box and then select OK.
3.Select the Boot tab.
4.Under Boot options, clear the Safe boot checkbox.


Best Regards
