Menu Not Appearing on Windows in SystemTray

[kdroidFilter]

Hello,

I'm encountering an issue with the SystemTray library on a Windows environment where the tray menu fails to appear. Below are the details of my setup and the steps to reproduce the issue:

• Operating System: Windows 10
• SystemTray Version: [4.4]
• Java Version: [17]
• Project Repository: kdroidFilter/compose-desktop
• Relevant Source Code: TrayIconManager.kt

Expected Behavior: A tray icon appears in the Windows system tray, with an accessible menu on right-click.

Actual Behavior: The tray icon appear in the system tray, but no menu is accessible.

Any assistance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

I use this library on a Win/Linux/Apple app and also found that on one user's Win machine the system tray didn't appear. It appears on my machine and other machines tested on but for one user's setup it didn't show and actually caused a crash. I'm using Java 8/21 and JavaFX and what I ended up doing was adding an if-statement and if Win then use the standard Java system tray, else use this 3rd-party lib. The reason I used this lib in the first place was due to the system tray not appearing on Linux Ubuntu/Mint machines, which is well-known. So, in my case the system tray not appearing on Win was never an issue but became one by relying entirely on this lib. And so why I added an if-clause.

Hey there,

Can you get me an output of the application running with SystemTray.DEBUG = true ?

I’ve run and tested this extensively on (pretty much) every version of Windows and it shouldn’t have any problems. The test examples are what I use to validate it.

Are you able to get me a stack-trace of the crash?

"Are you able to get me a stack-trace of the crash?" --> unfortunately not. When it was reported the user was seeing a crash on Win I similarly requested a stacktrace but never received one. I think they had a very specific setup that was causing the problem.

It's work very well on Ubuntu, and not tested it on mac.
Thanks a lot

I temporarily modified the method for extracting the Windows version.
