Hi, are all of the icons showing and you want to it to only show a few of them like it normally does? If that's the problem, then you can try this:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Type in notification in the search box in Control Panel.
3. Open Notification Area Icons.
4. Uncheck the box that says Always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar.

This means Windows will hide many of the icons that normally show up in the tray (hence the arrow that you click on to show the rest of them).
