NPVR NOT in system tray now

NPVR NOT in system tray now:

I just updated NPVR to version 7.0.1.241229, and I still have an issue that started in November when I upgraded NextPVR from late version six to then current 7.0.0.241105. Did the normal NPVRSetup.exe to update, as the site directs. Seemed to progress normally. I did that install update several times - same result.

Since then, NPVR is NOT in the system tray, so therefore not directly usable since there is no access to it.

Workaround:
I did find that I can go into C:\ProgramFiles\NextPVR to find the file NPVRTray.exe, and run it. Then the green NPVR icon is quickly, properly back in the system tray!  BUT after rebooting the machine, which I do daily and more often, NPVR is no longer in the system tray. I found that I could go to the NPVRTray.exe file, then put a shortcut to it on my desktop. Running the shortcut DOES put the green NPVR icon back in the system tray.

Can you help me fix whatever is wrong? It isn't critical, just a tiny annoyance. Something I can live with long-term, but it doesn't seem right to have to do this.

Thanks.

If you go to Task Manger and find Startup apps is NPVRTray.exe there? If so maybe it got disabled?

Did you try a reboot after install? I seem to remember another user pointing out they didn’t get the tray until after their first reboot.

I reboot often, so that isn't it.
I do NOT find Tray in startup in Task Manager, so I will try adding it there. Unfamiliar - don't think I've been there since I upgraded to Windows 11!
Thanks.

Adding the shortcut to the startup program worked!  Thanks.

Works GREAT now!
