After reboot I see the icon in the system tray, but as soon as I click on it, it disappears. Is that what you are seeing too? It does look like the app is actually running and stays running however -- and when I relaunch manually it seems to simply restore the tray icon. I do think this behavior occurred prior to 7.8 however ... still wondering if this isn't really a Windows 10 issue that's been there awhile. Art
