It’s not working on mine. I do all the config. The only thing I see different is that I have the latest software and when I go to main interface I do not have wxwidgets. I have qt and that has the setting for the systray. It does not have the taskbar on their. I doubt that would be the problem but that is the only thing that I see out of place. Please email me if you have an idea. Thank you
