Title: Setting minimize to system tray instead taskbar does nothing (HUv5)
Post by: snukkel on October 28, 2024, 04:54:10 PM
Hello,

the option in the Home Updater settings: When clicking start updater, automatically minimize Patch My PC works. But it puts the Home Updater in the system tray.

So the setting:

Minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar does nothing  :)

Hey snukkel,
Thank you for the suggestion! we will rename this soon.

About "Minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar" it works fine for me! notice that it's for minimize not close! the close option is right below it.

What i mean is that if the setting: When clicking start updater, automatically minimize Patch my pc, is enabled it is minimized to the system tray when clicking start updater.

So what does the setting: Minimize to system tray instead of the taskbar do? Because The Home Updater isn't minimized to the task bar?

If you enable that option when you click minimize, it will go to the system tray over by the time in the bottom right vs the taskbar.

My problem is that when I minimize or close (both set to minimize to System Tray) it does goes to the bottom left corner of my desktop (see attached).
Then when I use Alt-tab to change apps, it's in the list, instead of having to click on the System Tray.
I am using Start11, so I thought that might be the problem.
I turned OFF Start11, and it did the same with the Win 11 Start Menu.
