I assume you are showing me the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" area from Taskbar Settings? On/Off here controls whether the _tray_icon_ appears on the taskbar or stays in the non-visible area of the tray icons. (Btw, as an alternative to going into settings and using the toggles, you can just drag a tray icon from taskbar to hidden area or vice-versa.) Windows seems to remember any application that has ever created tray icon and remembers where you want it to appear, either on the taskbar or in hidden area. I'm thinking that you have run both the traditional installer version and the Windows Store version in the past, so windows is remembering (caching) both. I guess Windows distinguishes according to exe filename. It seems once you run an application that creates a tray icon, Windows remembers it forever. Even after you uninstall it. I see this with both the store/appx version and non-store version and even dev versions on my machine. Presumably there would be a way to remove it on uninstall, but I have not found it. Upon reading your message, I went in and looked and I saw all sorts of obsolete apps in that list on my machine. The only solution I have for you, which I tried and it worked, is a utility called "Notification Area Cleaner". It is an exe that runs a script to delete those obsolete cached entries. I tried doing it manually but that does not work because for it to work explorer.exe must be temporarily terminated, then restarted - else the cache does not really get removed. I downloaded the utility from CNET. If you google "Notification Area Cleaner" you should find it. There are different versions for 32-bit/64-bit OC version so download accordingly. For Windows 10, I used "run as administrator", then pressed the Clean button. It worked fine. The version I used said "for Windows 7", but worked fine on Windows 10. Hope that helps.
