Wow....I stand corrected. This morning I restarted two machines running
Windows 10 Creator and BOINC 7.8.0. Both machines experienced the
"disappearing" icon in the system tray problem. No idea why I didn't
experience this yesterday when I tested this. What was strange is that
when I restarted BOINC manually, it came up instantly on both machines
and the event log timing showed it had actually restarted on the
reboot...and was apparently already running (without the system try
icon). After I forced the BOINC launch, the system tray icon reappeared
and everything seems fine.
By the way, I'm also testing the Mac BOINC version 7.8.0 on a machine
running MacOS Sierra 10.12.16 (Beta Release 5) with no problems so far.

I had a heck of a time getting Windows 10 Creator to load on this

partition" was only 100MB and was full/too small. After I increased
the hidden partition size, Windows 10 Creator upgrade run
successfully. However, I don't think my upgrade problems are directly
replaced to the "disappearing icon" issue. I did see this problem
consistently on another machine which had the previous version of
Windows 10 on it -- where I had to manually restart BOINC each time
the machine started or rebooted. I had done some research on the
"startup" problem with applications on Windows 10, so frankly I've
assumed that the problem was fixed in the latest release. However
I've not upgraded the machine where I had the problem (will not be
back home until next week to try it). Sorry I don't have more info,
but the Windows 10 fails to startup application problem was referenced
I believe (see link) and the various fixed suggested never worked for
me..some apps started but some did not...

Not sure if this is related to the problem or a blind alley. When I
get back home, I will confirm this behavior on my other Windows 10
machine, then do the Creator upgrade and see if the launch problem
resolves itself. I do not have this problem on this machine running
Windows 10 Creator -- but then I don't think I ever saw that "launch"
problem on this machine either...
Sorry I can't be of more help....

Insider builds newer than that. My hunch is that Art has a scenario
that masks/hides the issue. I still show it as broken.

Thanks.
Jacob Klein, is this compatible with what you're seeing?
