Title: Avast Icon Not Appearing in System Tray
Post by: MrToad on October 09, 2022, 06:18:49 PM

On my Win11 Pro HP laptop, Avast ver 22.9.60334 build 22.9.7554.750, the Avast icon does not appear ..just an inactive space. When I went to Settings, Notifications unchecking System tray icon, removed the inactive space, rechecking brought the space back But the space does nothing.
I went to Add/Remove programs and did a repair install which avast said was successful, but nothing changed
I have Avast installed on 3 win10 pro PC's and the Icon is in the system tray.
Suggestions?

If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
