Server not in Task Tray
I cannot see my Eco Time Server module in my task tray
  • Starting from Windows Server 2003, services operate on their own dedicated desktop. Unlike in Windows XP, where a service could sometimes attach to the first user's desktop, modern versions of Windows no longer support this. As a result, although the Eco Time Server icon is technically active, it will not be visible on any standard user desktop when running as a service.
  • In Terminal Services environments (including Remote Desktop Services), each user session runs on a separate desktop. Consequently, the icon will not appear in any user session when the server is running as a service.
  • However, if the server is launched manually (i.e., not as a service but as a standalone executable), the icon will appear—but only on the desktop of the user who started the program.
  • If visibility of the system tray icon is essential, consider running the server manually rather than as a service.
