Windows 10 system tray issue

[cosinus]

Hi!

I have permanent problem with Windows system tray on rugged tablet.
When I click on system tray icons they disappear and deform. This occurs when some applications are running.

Step one:
When Windows starts everything works fine

Step two:
When I start Topcon Magnet Field application, it looks ok:

Step three:
When I try to click on system tray it disappears

Similar thing happens with the title bar, it shrinks down to a few pixels in height.
Same thing happens also in the tablet mode.

Hardware: Juniper Mesa II (Topcon FC-5000)
Software: Windows 10 x64 (upgraded - up to date), Topcon Magnet Field x64
Ty for help!

The issue you are facing with the system tray icons disappearing and deforming on your rugged tablet running Windows 10 seems to be related to how certain applications are affecting the user interface. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Restart Windows Explorer​

1. Restart Windows Explorer: Sometimes, restarting the Windows Explorer process can resolve visual glitches. You can do this by:
   • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
   • Locate "Windows Explorer" under the "Processes" tab, right-click on it, and choose "Restart."

     Check for Display Settings​

   []Display Settings: *
   • Right-click on the desktop and choose "Display settings."
   • Ensure that the display resolution and scale settings are correctly configured for your tablet's screen.

     Update Graphics Drivers​

   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can cause display issues. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest graphics drivers and update them accordingly.

     Run Windows Update​

     Application Compatibility​

   []Run SFC Scan:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow to scan and repair system files.

     Safe Mode​

   []Safe Mode:
   • Booting into Safe Mode can help determine if the issue is caused by third-party applications conflicting with Windows. If the problem doesn't occur in Safe Mode, it might be due to a third-party application.

     Restore Point​

   []System Restore:
   • If the issue started recently, consider using System Restore to revert Windows back to a time when the system tray was working correctly.

     Contact Manufacturer Support​
