Describe the Bug

After restart the systray icon is in the taskbar. Clicking on it does nothing. There are no popup options until I restart the Sunshine service. After restarting sunshine the icon works as expected until the next reboot.

Expected Behavior

The icon gives popup options when clicked.

Additional Context

The issue was present on 23h2 and now 24h2. I have noticed it since idk the beginning of 2024 and assumed it would be noticed and fixed but maybe I am the only one.

I guess msft broke something in that version of Windows.

I'm running 24H2 on all my systems and the tray icon works fine on them all, so it must be more than that.

This happens to me every time if I connect to Sunshine right after booting the machine and sign in through the standard windows login. I'm using Sunshine as a service. If I restart Sunshine after logging in and reconnect using Moonlight then the tray is working again until the next time the machine is rebooted. I am running the latest pre-release 2025.212.40608 but this has happened since I really started using Sunshine over the last month or so through various versions.

Windows 11 24H2
