Thank you @Shepard-N7 for coming forward doing a thorough testing of this beta version.
There was an issue in the task bar icon color change after the recent changes and I have fixed it. I will soon promote the new version as latest.

Thanks @userFX for pointing this issue. I will get it fixed in a coming release.
Though restarting explorer.exe from task manager is not a common scenario.

I didn’t see a topic for 11.1.30.0 specifically but this also counts for this beta release and maybe previous ones where I hadn’t noticed.

But if you install a new FXSound update, after the installation is complete, the application opens, then you minimize it, but the icon disappears in system tray. However FXSound is still running as a process. You have to process kill fxsound and restart the application to restore systemtray icon access.

That’s my feedback so far, otherwise it has been working great. Thanks for the new releases keep them coming. :slight_smile:

Hi @CriticalHit_NL
Is FxSound icon disappearing from system tray and still running in the background?
In which OS version does this issue occur?

That is indeed correct, FxSound.exe keeps running but system tray icon hides itself after upgrade process where it opens automatically and then you minimize the application.

This stops happening once you fully close down the FxSound.exe process in taskmanager.

Windows 10 22H2 x64 Pro, multiple computers domain and non-domain joined.
