No icon in the system tray - impossible to see system is safe or not :-(

Good morning all,

I have a new fresh install of McAfee Internet Security. IS a new laptop on which I downloaded the software from my McAfee account.

But unfortunately it is impossible for me to see if my system is safe because there is no system tray icon.

In the Win11 system setting under "Other system tray icons" the one for McAfee is clearly enabled.

When I check Taskmanager I can see McAfee stuff is running.

I rebooted several times already.

Now how to get my icon back ?

Thanks

I am not sure why , windows update ? McAfee update ? Wind direction ? , but since this afternoon the icon is back.

I rebooted just to make sure and yep, it popped up again.

Thanks to you all for secretly fixing this issue !
