Unlike home versions of Symantec anti-virus programs, which always display a system tray icon, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition will not appear in the system tray by default if you installed the program as a managed client, controlled along with other computers' installations from a central console. If you want the icon to appear on managed clients, or if your icon has disappeared from an unmanaged client, you can manually set it to appear.
Managed Clients
1.
Open the Symantec System Center console on the system used to control all your managed clients.
2.
Right-click on the server group, client group or parent server containing the computer on which you want the icon to appear. Changing this option for specific groups will override settings made at the parent server level.
3.
Click 'All Tasks,' 'Symantec AntiVirus' and then 'Client Administrator Only Options.'
4.
Select 'Show Symantec AntiVirus Icon on Desktop' and click 'OK.'
Unmanaged Clients
1.
Press the 'Windows' key and type 'regedit.' Press 'Enter' to open the Registry Editor.
2.
Browse through the folder tree in the left pane by double-clicking folders to open them. Proceed through the folders to find the registry directory 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareIntelLandeskVirusProtect6CurrentVersionAdministratorOnlyGeneral' and select the 'General' folder.

If you have checked out a version of Windows 10 already, you may have noticed that the operating system handles certain things different to previous versions of Windows.
One of those changes in my opinion is how System Tray icons are handled by the system on the desktop.
While the System Tray is still there, Microsoft has changed how users select which of the system tray icons are displayed on the taskbar and which are not.
System Tray icons have three visibility levels: always visible, show notifications, or hide completely. If an icon is not displayed by default, you need to find a way to display it as you cannot use the customize link to make that change.
Windows 10 displays only icons of programs or tasks that are active at the time but not for programs that are not.
The option to manage System Tray icons is still there but Microsoft removed the link that users could activate to get to the right management interface.
Here is what you need to do:
Right-click on a blank space on the Windows 10 taskbar and select Taskbar Settings
The link 'Select which icons appear on the taskbar' gives you options to enable or disable icons on the taskbar.
Tip: select 'Always show all icons in the notification area' to display all icons automatically.
You may toggle icons so that only those icons that you want displayed are visible while all other icons are hidden.
The link 'Turn system icons on or off' does the same for System Icons such as the clock, volume, or Action Center.
Microsoft changed or removed the options below in newer versions of Windows 10.
Old information
One option that you have is to open the notification control panel applet manually.
Tap on Windows-Pause to open the System Control Panel applet.
Switch to 'All Control Panel Items' on the screen to display them all in the window.
Select Notification Area Icons from the list of items.
The window that opens displays all know System Tray icons and their visibility status. Use it to make the necessary modifications to one or multiple icons and click on the ok button afterwards to save those.
It is necessary to repeat the process whenever you need to modify the behavior of another icon, for instance from a program that you just installed on the system.
The second option that you have is to use the Settings (former PC Settings) Control Panel instead. You can open it with a click on the Notifications icon in the System Tray area.Select all settings from the sidebar that opens and on the next screen system and then the 'notifications & actions' item.Finally, select the 'select which icons appear on the taskbar' link near the top of the window to display all desktop programs on the screen.
There you only have options to enable or disable it on the taskbar. The menu lacks the other customization option that the classic Control Panel offers. Since both options are opened quickly enough, it is usually better to use the Control Panel whenever you want to change the visibility of System Tray icons on Windows 10.
Avast Not Showing In System Tray Replacement
Tip: The Notifications & Actions menu leads to another option. If you click on the 'turn system icons on or off' link in the menu, you are taken to a new configuration page where you can display or hide system icons such as volume, network, action center or the input indicator.
A third option is to right-click on the taskbar and select properties from the context menu. Once the new window opens, select customize from it to open the System Tray options. (Thanks Dan)
It is unclear if the customize link is just missing in the Technical Preview of Windows 10 or if Microsoft made the decision to remove it for good. Considering that it was there before, the latter seems likely.
The change is not overly problematic but it could throw some users off who expect the customize option to be there after they upgrade from another Windows version to Windows 10.
Now You: Are there changes in Windows 10 that you don't like?

Windows System Tray Not Showing
Why some users have Windows Defender tray icon enabled by default and others not
In Windows 10, those Windows Insiders who are installing new builds via Windows Update often have the Defender tray icon visible. Some previously released builds of Windows 10 had the appropriate value in the Registry in the Run key. However, for many users the Windows Defender line in the Registry looks like this:
Avast Not Showing In System Tray Free
The '-hide' switch is preventing the tray icon from being visible, so those users never see it!
Those who perform a clean install like myself do not have the Windows Defender Registry value in the Run section, so they also have no tray icon. This is the default behavior for a clean install of Windows 10.
Thanks to my friend Cody Warmbo who discovered this behavior and inspired me to write the article.
