Windows 11 26H2
Hi, this app updated today and it's doing on things on my system

1) Program always runs at startup even though it's been set to not start
2) Program shows an icon in the area near the system clock even when closed (this never used to happen in previous versions)
3) If I move the app to my secondary screen, I cannot move it back, and the close, maximise and minimise buttons refuse to work

I have reset the app, uninstalled, reinstalled and the same thing happens.

Anyone else have similar issues?

So you don't have the phone link icon in the area where the time is, lower right corner once closed?

Really odd, I close the app, and the icon remains, I restart the pc and it shows in the system tray area.

Do you have all your system tray icons shown?

I have switched the app off in Start-up Apps, but something still runs. Very strange. Which version of Windows are you running?
