Exception: Failed to register systray icon

[toTOW]

On one of my machines (Windows 10 Pro), after upgrading to 7.5.1 client (yes, it was a while ago), I don't see the tray icon anymore and the log is showing the following error at every client start up :

09:37:31:ERROR:Exception: Failed to register systray icon: Erreur non spécifiée

The translation of the error is "Unspecified error".

The client is doing fine and Advanced control is able to connect (launched for start menu, or remotely). It's only a problem when I'd like to exit the client nicely.

Any idea what is causing this error ?

Maybe 2 instances of FahClient are running?

It would be too easy

I see this as well just after the client starts two threads, one for CPU one for GPU. And the systray folding icon is missing.

Code: Select all

08:25:13:Enabled folding slot 00: READY cpu:11
08:25:13:Enabled folding slot 01: READY gpu:0:GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070] 6463
08:25:13:ERROR:Exception: Failed to register systray icon: Unspecified error

Also having trouble connecting the web client that just looops on waiting for local host 127.0.0.1

FAHClient requires a loop-back connection on 127.0.0.1. That's how it communicates with another task (like WebControl) on the same system.

I'm not sure about the Web Client. It may be using that connection to tell Windows to open the systray icon.

That's two separate issues. Even if the icon is missing, I can still talk with the client using local or remote FAHControl ...
