Describe the bug you encountered:

The "tray service" appears both in the system tray and in the taskbar as if it was an open window.

What did you expect to happen instead?

For only the RustDesk status window to take appear in the taskbar. If I open up the RustDesk status window, I get two RustDesk-logoed programs in the taskbar.

How did you install RustDesk?

The x64 Windows installer from the website.


RustDesk version and environment

RustDesk 1.1.9 on Windows 11 (AMD64).

StartAllBack is installed, it is paid software but a free trial is available in case the issue is not reproduced without it.
