Killer intelligence center system tray icon missing

[Reaper0983]

So the killer intelligence system tray icon disappears after restart on windows 11 25h2. Services are running and if iopen rhe control center its functional. The icon just doesn't render anymore. Repair reset brings it back until restart same with a clean install. Im out of ideas. Its the only missing icon.

Hi Reaper0983,

Thank you for posting in the Intel Community Forum.

Based on your description, it appears the Killer Intelligence Center is functioning correctly after reboot, and only the system tray icon is missing.

To help us investigate, could you please provide the following?

1. Which version of the Intel Killer Performance Suite is installed?
2. After reboot, is KillerTray.exe (or a similarly named Killer process) still running in Task Manager?
3. Does the tray icon reappear if you manually launch KillerTray.exe without repairing or reinstalling?
4. Is Windows 11 25H2 a clean installation or an upgrade from an earlier version?
5. Does the issue occur after every restart, or only after specific types of reboots (Restart vs. Shut down/Power on)?

Additionally, I'll be sending you an email shortly requesting some diagnostic logs that will help with the investigation. I appreciate your time and look forward to your response.

Once I have this information, I'll continue investigating the issue further.

Besst Regards,

LohithG.
