Originally created by @openhat-org on GitHub (Feb 17, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1069

Barrier settings are: "Minimize to System Tray" activated. "Hide on startup" not activated.

The icon does not appear in the system tray after startup even though Barrier has been started and runs.
If the Barrier GUI is started from the program menu the tray icon appears and functions normally.

Expected behaviour is: The tray icon should appear immediately after startup if this combination of settings is selected.

OS is: Windows 10 Pro N, version 2004, build 19041.746

The tray icon is also not showing on startup for me on Linux distro Pop!_OS 20.04, flatpak install commit 786ba72aa052bb501eedb0224a931bf940ce7ea1ce250ceb71a0768dafd88f46

I found that when client server starts automatically everything works. However, when I then launch the client from program menu the client/server breaks and mouse can no longer be moved to client. Is this issue interlinked with original issue?

The same in WIndows 11.

One new issue:

When I use barrier as client in windows 11 and use barrier as server in Linux, the autostart barrier program in windows 11 will not support clipboard copy/paste. (I can not copy from Windows 11 barrier client to Linux barrier server).

Workaround: Start barrier GUI from windows menu manually. It will show barrier is running. Click Reload button to reload/restart barrier service. After reloading, clipboard will work fine. (The tray icon will also appear as mentioned in this issue's description).
