Notice that Element tray icon is in the visible part of the tray, instead of in the dropdown menu in the tray
Update Element desktop and re-open it
Notice that the Element tray icon is now in the dropdown menu in the tray, instead of in the visible part of the tray. (Sometimes, there are two Element icons in the dropdown menu)
Go to Windows Settings > Taskbar > Select which icons appear on the taskbar
Notice multiple entries for Element. Usually, one is toggled on, and one is toggled off (I'm guessing these are referencing the old and new Element executable files)
Toggle the old one off, and the new one on
Finally, the Element tray icon is in the visible part of the tray like you wanted it to be
Outcome
What did you expect?
I expected Element to remember that I wanted its tray icon to show up in the visible part of the tray after an update.
I also expected it to NOT generate new entries in the Windows taskbar icon settings with every new update
What happened instead?
After updating, Element's tray icon shows up in the dropdown menu of the tray instead of the visible area. Sometimes, it generates duplicate tray icons in the drop down menu
It also generates a new entry in the Windows taskbar icon settings with every new update
