    I think one of my tweaks results in time/clock disappearing from taskbar icon tray, but I can't figure out which one and this cosmetic issue alone keeps me from switching to Windows 11. The same happens to the actual tray icons. They vanish from taskbar entirely. The "Always Show All Icons In The Notification Area" policy setting doesn't work. I also tried using "shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}" to open hidden "Notification Area Icons" location, but all options in it were greyed-out (not usable).

    Does apps like StartIsBack or other Start Menu shell programs apply to tray icons and force them to show up?
