Check if that tablet config is there and enabled. Can you move the icons in the tray at all?
I don't know/forgot how 🤦♂️
Yes, I can move the icons and if I move them over the icon indicator they become hidden.

Split from this thread.
22572.100 ni_release one issue so far
Won't let me move my system tray icons where I want anymore.
Other than that, installed fine on both laptops.

That means you don't have the hidden tablet optimization feature enabled.
Sure you know how. 🙃
Sorry for the delay, I'm right the middle of filing my 2021 Taxes. 🤐

In your case everything looks normal, the Show hidden icons only shows when you have hidden icons.
When they screw it up with the tablet fiasco it shows also when there is nothing hidden and the icons can no longer be moved.

Somebody keeps editing my posts to hide the MS taboo. 😝😝

Hi,
That link shows a setting picture for an older Build not 22579.
Anyway, make those all visible and see if you still have the button to "Show hidden icons"
It should not be there if all icons are visible.
And please show the correct picture for the current Ni build not an old one. 😏
This is what it looks with 22579, and there is a new setting option too, for the hidden icon menu:
