I think I have a secret icon in the system tray that shows up only sometimes, not right after I turn on my computer. It pops up all over again during the day. Right-clicking doesn't do anything, and Windows Defender also finds nothing there. I'm sure there aren't any settings for these hidden icons either. Any tips to find it?

There is a glitch in your System Tray, so don't be sad because you are not alone here. You can either ignore it or try to fix it yourself; it probably happened because an old program was removed wrongly. The icons are still showing up, but they just won't work right now.
