      I use v6.8.5, Windows 7 Enterprise Sp1 - in Notepad++ I checked “minimize to system tray”. It worked OK, but few days ago it stopped working. The program doesn’t minimize to tray after clicking “minimize”.

            I just backtracked versions and determined that this broke starting with 6.8.4.

                Hi all,

                using Windows 7 64bit Notepad++ 6.8.7 and it is working for me.
                Did you try starting npp with -noPlugin switch? Is it still broken?

                Cheers
                Claudia

                  If I recall there was an issue with minimizing to the try when running in administrator mode. Can’t remember where I saw that though…

                    @dail you are right, just tried it.
                    When starting as administrator it doesn’t “fly” to the systray.

                      i just changed the shortcut to “run this program in compatibility mode” “Windows XP (service pack 3)” and it minimized to the tray. what is causing the issue in recent builds?

                        I’ve been having exactly the same issue for the past few versions.

                        Are we the only people experiencing this> (i.e. Is this not broken for everyone?) :o/

                          Hello @Paul-Nicholas,

                          well, everyone who start npp as administrator and uses os >= VISTA ( I assume ).

                          Cheers

                            Still seeing this problem in 6.9.1 in Windows 7 x64. I have to go back to 6.8.3 to fix it.

                                I still see this in 6.9.2, and it seems like at least one other guy has now posted about it: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/11969/minimize-to-system-tray-not-working-with-admin-account

                                    Just tested 7.1. This bug is still present.

                                      Apparently, a workaround is to run it in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode.

                                        Well, here we are at v7.3.2 and the problem STILL exists. I am on Windows 8.1 . After testing both the x86 and x64 versions of npp the only solution to get this program, that used to work fine, to minimize to tray via settings>preferences> misc.>minimize to tray, is to run the x86 version in Windows XP mode. But that leaves you with thick XP style title bars. So for this long time being i just stick with v6.8.3 .

                                          You are free to like the features you like, but it is hard for me to believe that anyone would refuse the bug fixes and feature enhancements between 6.8.3 and the current version just because the program won’t minimize to the tray. :-)

                                            How is it so hard to believe, when in fact i am sure you are using npp for it’s features?
