[Help me] Quick Launch & Tray Icon on secondary task bar have disappeared today

[TaengHee]

First, I am sorry I am not good at English.

Quick Launch & Tray Icon on secondary task bar have disappeared today.
They were on both primary & secondary task bar untill yesterday.
However, when I turned of my PC today, I found they're gone on secondary task bar.

So I checked if updated version was installed automatically, but it was not.

I don't know why they are gone suddenly.
I am so sad
Please, help me.

Thank you

Try rebooting.

Then please post windows version and build.
Please post explorer patcher version.

I tried reboot but it is same.

Window version is Windows 11 Home (22H2)
Build is 22621.1992
Explorer Patcher version is 22621.1555.55.1

Could you help me??

Try the following:

1. uninstall explorer patcher
2. delete the registry key: "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ExplorerPatcher"
3. reboot
4. install explorer patcher
5. verify you get a notification that symbols have been downloaded
6. restart windows explorer using either the task manager or in the properties window of explorer patcher
7. reboot

Then apply your settings again in explorer patcher to see if it fixes it.

You installed an older version of explorer patcher. Uninstall it and download the current release from here.
