System Tray icon switching off at every boot up

Hello.

Recently I installed Windows 11 and I've got a problem with an icon not behaving itself in the System Tray. The program is Phantom Gaming Tuning (PGTU.exe). I want this icon to always show in the tray. Not matter what I set in Taskbar -> Other System tray icons, everytime I reboot this icon is hidden so I have to go in and turn it on again. I found a way to always make sure it remains in the tray via a registry hack but is there another way to make sure it always displays?



Also, for some reason there are several instances of the same program in the list. Only the one at the top works when I turn it on.
Is there a way to get rid of the other entries?




Thanks.

If I'm reading your question correctly: have you tried to drag and drop the icon to always show in the tray/overflow? This is how I do it.
