Interesting question regarding my system tray

Quentin Christensen
It's not specifically an NVDA quirk, but a Windows one, it's just that because NVDA is always running, it appears more often than with many other icons - basically it's just Windows not always cleaning up properly when a program exits. We're aware of it, but there's nothing we can do about it, Microsoft will need to fix it. Of course, if NVDA is crashing or misbehaving, that we DO definitely want to know about, so do be sure to let us know, ask in here, or create a Github issue. Regards Quentin.

When this happens one does nothing and the other one works. If you
try to open the one that does nothing, it disappears.
I have never seen it happen unless a crash and restart has occurred or
unless a crash has occurred and you need to restart it.

can't explain it, but it sometimes happens for me, too, and no crashes/restarts
are involved. Since it seems to have zero impact on the functioning of
NVDA I chalk it up to a quirk. One of these days I need to check to see if both of those system tray icons would be responsive for the same running instance of NVDA. Never bothered to check. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

If NVDA crashes and restarts or if you restart it, there will be an extra
system tray icon for the instance that crashed.

tray Hello listers,
I have the latest version of Windows 10 and NVDA on a laptop.
I was looking at my system tray and I saw that I have two NVDA buttons in it. Why is that?
