STEAM Client right-click on tray-icon
ISSUE
If i right-click on the tray-icon (next to the clock on the windows-taskbar) only some of the favorite-games showing up. If i then go to settings -> interface -> taskbar-settings and activate and/or deactivate, the menu shows up as provided by the settings.

OS
Windows 10

STEPS
right-click on tray-icon in windows-taskbar

RESULTS
no menu is shown, only some favorite games

EXPECTED
menu should show up as in the settings selected

Same thing - I keep missing the exit steam button - you can't toggle the thing on or off it only shows for one toggle and then it's gone. I have no idea

Same here..
I figured out, that if you go to settings, overlay, then "taskbar-options", switch one thing like shop and you have your right-cklick options back. Until Steamrestart.

I have the same Issue

OS: Win 10

Only thing I noticed
If you go to settings -> Taskbar Preferences -> disable + enable Store for example -> tray-icon shows the correct menu -> after restart Steam the icon menu is broken again

I have the same phenomenon
Also, when I press the payment button in the store shopping cart, nothing is displayed.

This specifically is an issue with Family View that cropped up a couple weeks ago. Valve and support both know about it.

Use a browser to completely disable Family View first (this is not the same as using the PIN to turn it off). Make sure you are signed into your friends list online first. Then you can use both the Steam client and the mobile app to make your purchases.

You can re-enable Family View at any time after you disable it. It will fix the issue.

ok, thanks for info, but there is a reason why i use Family-view, so deactivate it is a workaround but will not work, for family-used steam-accounts! ;o)

I hope they will fix it soon too

Happy new year, and happy new news... as it seems problem is solved now! Can anyone of you confirm? No need to release family-mode again, right after starting steam -> the right-click-menu on tray-icon apears again... Thanks for everyone joining my very first thread here on steam! ;o) Wish you all the best for the already started year.
