desktop agent tray error message in windows 10

I tried the following suggestion. When I got to step 4, the list provided no checkmarks to uncheck and the icon for Desktop Agent Tray was a checkmark in a yellow circle. nothing happened when I clicked on the yellow circle with the checkmark. the title on the list was Desktop Agent Tray(2) Clicking on the title opened a title beneath the Desktop Agent Tray (2) which did not have the (2)

the publisher of both titles was CenturyLink Inc and the status for the entry with the (2) was enabled and the status of the other entry was blank. Changing the status to disabled did nothing. the Start up impact was listed as high. There was another entry under the two Desktop Agent Tray titles There was an icon then Dw20 with a high start up impact. No where was there a place to uncheck or delete. So far the box which lists the error disappears and there seems to be no problem. I just wonder why it is there,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

How do I minimize Signal to the system tray on Windows?

I’m using Signal for instant messaging and have installed the desktop app on Windows 10.

When I hit the Close ( X ) button in the window’s title bar, it exits the application.

How can I make Signal minimize to the Windows system tray (aka notification area) instead of closing?

I’ve checked the preferences but there’s no option for it. I’d prefer not to run any additional programs if possible.

You can have Signal create a system tray icon by passing —use-tray-icon as a command line parameter to Signal.exe (see relevant source code). If you do this, then:

• Signal will start with an icon in the system tray.
• Hitting the Close button in the Window’s title bar will cause Signal to be minimized to the tray instead of exiting the app (and you can click the tray icon to show the Signal window again).
• When you receive a message, the Signal tray icon will display a small red visual indicator.
  • Unfortunately, Signal won’t display any desktop notifications when minimized to the tray and it won’t be able to flash its window frame like it normally does when it receives a message, so you might want to also turn on the Play audio notification setting in File > Preferences so that you don’t miss messages.

You can also have Signal start in the system tray by passing —start-in-tray as a command line parameter, in which case the window will start minimized to the system tray (see relevant source code).

To set —use-tray-icon as a command line parameter for Signal so that it uses a tray icon by default, follow the following steps:

1. Press the Windows key to open the start menu, and search for Signal
2. When you see the Signal menu entry appear, right click on it to open up the context menu, then click Open file location .
3. In the Explorer window that opens, right click on the Signal shortcut to open the context menu, and click on Properties
4. In the Signal Properties window that opens, change the Target field to C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\signal-desktop\Signal.exe —use-tray-icon then click OK.
5. Now exit Signal if it’s already running and start it again, and you should see it use the tray icon.

Windows service message in system tray

I’ve posted a similar similar query Link to my previous post.

Still I need some more clarifications on this topic,

1) Can I display a warning message using «WTSSendMessage», once the user tries to stop the windows service?? ( In all versions of windows ( XP, VISTA, 7 ) ).

2) If the above method is not possible, «Can I display a warning message in sysyem tray of my computer»

Can I display a warning message using WTSSendMessage , once the user tries to stop the windows service?

Yes you can. The MSDN document Service Changes for Windows Vista says this (emphasis mine):

Services have always run in session 0. Before Windows Vista, the first user to log on was also assigned to session 0. Now, session 0 is reserved exclusively for services and other applications not associated with an interactive user session. (The first user to log on is connected to session 1, the second user to log on is connected to session 2, and so on.) Session 0 does not support processes that interact with the user. This change means that a service cannot post or send a message to an application and an application cannot send or post a message to a service. In addition, services cannot display a user interface item such as a dialog box directly. A service can use the WTSSendMessage function to display a dialog box in another session.

System tray pop-up message notifications using PowerShell

In this post, I will show you how to get pop-up windows in System tray notification area using balloon tips and Powershell.

If you are looking for a article about how to get pop-up message box using powershell rather than balloon tip, refer to this article: https://techibee.com/powershell/how-to-get-pop-up-message-box-using-powershell/839

System tray notifications increase the user experience. Say I am a Powershell script which will shutdown a server and wait for it to come online, I don’t have to keep watching the console to know if my server is up or not. Rather I would rely on some notification (email, pop-up messages, etc) to get the status so that I can work on something else while my server(s) is booting up. It sounds interesting. Isn’t it?

We can list down “n” number of use cases where System tray notifications will come handy in various scripts. I won’t list all of them here as it is impossible and I will leave it to your imagination to get your own list of use cases. However, what I will cover in this post is, the code used for generating system tray notifications using balloon tips. This post is actually inspired from today’s daily tip from http://powershell.com. They have given a basic code using which you can get balloon pop-up message. Here I will give you a sophisticated function which you can use in any script to provide different types of messages.

Function: Show-BalloonTip

Usage instructions:

Show-BalloonTip -Title “my message” -MessageType Warning -Message “you have a warning dude” -Duration 1000

Show-BalloonTip -Title “Error occurred” -MessageType Error -Message “you have a Error dude” -Duration 1000

Sample Output:

Hope you will find this function useful. Feel free to use it in your scripts.
