@noahcarver@freedomscientific@mastoblind I hope you were encluded on the reply I did, but in short windows 11 doesn't have a show all anymore. you have to turn each icon on and off. in the post I sent, I gave the steps to get to the list of your system tray icons and showed how to turn them on and off. if you didn't see this post, just let me know, and I will send the list of steps again.
@noahcarver@freedomscientific@mastoblind like I said, I was actually doing the steps as I was writing them so that I made sure I counted, and wrote them correctly.
@noahcarver@freedomscientific@mastoblind I can't remember in Windows 11, and I know it's a bit tricky, but I believe if you type "taskbar' into the start search bar or into settings search box, you can find the area. There should be an option under notification area as you tab through for show all icons. If I remember correctly, it's a bit tricky to ifnd. The computer I am on now is on Windows 10, so I can't look as I'm telling you this. My work computer is Windiows 11 but as it's the weekend I don't have that booted up right now.
@nycki96@noahcarver@freedomscientific@mastoblind this works on my windows 11 machine running windows 23H2. I was doing the steps as I was writing them to make sure I had the number of times you had to press different things correct.
@nycki96@NoahCarver@freedomscientific@mastoblind if you are talking about showing all your things in the system tray in windows 11, there is no show all anymore. let me get you to where you need to be, and you have to turn each one on that you want to see. so here is how you get to the list.
press win+i
tab once and you should hear home, 1 of 12.
down arrow 4 times and you should hear personalization. press the spacebar on this to select it.
tab 3 times and you should hear background, 1 of 10.
down arrow 7 times and you should hear tast bar. press space on this to select it.
press tab 9 times and you should hear other system tray icons collapsed. press the spacebar on this to expand it.
press tab twice and you will be in a list of all things that can have a system tray icon. use your up and down arrow keys to go threw this list.
when you want to see the status of if it is on or off, meaning its system tray icon, tab once you should hear that apps name by either on or off. if it is off, and you want it on, press the spacebar, and you will hear it say on.
once you have checked the status of the icon and if you needed to change it press shift tab twice to get back to the list, and repete steps 7 and 8 until you are done.
once you are done setting all of the apps the way you want them simply press alt+f4 to close the settings app. you don't have to press any type of ok, or apply button. once you change the status of an apps icon, it saves that setting right away.
