startup without taskbar icons

[Lynxie101]

Hey there, anyone else have an issue where when they have wallpaper engine on startup it doesn't launch with icons on the task bar until you click on it?

Do you mean all of the icons in the task bar or only the icon of Wallpaper Engine?

In any case, I have never seen this reported by someone else, but you could try disabling the "high priority" auto start in Wallpaper Engine and use the normal one instead. If this is due to a conflict with another program, then perhaps it occurs because Wallpaper Engine can start quicker than usual programs do.

So it affects all of the icons, I am thinking it is more of a Windows issue as if no one has talked about it before then it isn't going to be the application just thinking it was worth asking, I have tried changing from high priority to normal and it did not change much but thank you for getting back to me

I think they experience another bug which is one that we have seen before, where only the icon of Wallpaper Engine turns into the generic "file" icon. It's unfortunately a Windows bug with a specific feature that Wallpaper Engine needs since it's split up in multiple executables but it resolves itself after a while and perhaps Microsoft did enough changes in Windows 11 to properly fix this.

Anyway, this only affects Wallpaper Engine for sure and only the icon of the UI window, not the tray icon or other icons. Clicking on it also doesn't change anything, it just comes from how there are two processes that are one application, which is a Windows feature that only few programs use. What you have described sounds different from that but if you are unsure you could still share a screenshot of the issue for comparison.

it look like if you make new notepad then change the file type to .exe
the only big thing happen to my pc is a lot of windows update and virus maybe @Lynxie101 got virus attack too or have a lot of windows update and yea i already try the delete thumbnail (maybe windows can fix itself) and reinstall too verifying it seem doesnt do anything. somehow it only broke the taskbar the shorcut and toolbar/ the thing next to clock it fine
