Traytip not working in Windows 10

[dwaynek]

traytip isn't working in windows 10. nothing happens when i use the Traytip command.

here's a simple script i used:

TrayTip("I'm a title", "I'm the message", 5)

i tried changing the registry setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced ( which didn't have EnableBalloonTips) and creating a DWORD entry called EnableBalloonTips and setting it to 1 and logging off then back in. that did not resolve the problem.

i'm running Windows 10 v1709 b16299.431

Post a runnable script that demonstrates your issue.

[dwaynek]

i just did. that one liner i posted should produce a line appearing at the system tray, should it not? yet it does nothing.

I ran it, works ok for me

Works for me...

In case anyone is bothering with this issue, I had to activate notifications again since I had them disabled to fix this *epicfacepalm*.

winkey + I -> System -> Notifications & actions -> enable notifications

I can confirm that traytip is not working here as well, windows 10 x64, new installation. Notifications are enabled.

Works for me without doing anything special...

it's working fine on my other win10 pc as well, it's running windows 10 x64 pro, while the one that it isn't working on is running

win10 x64 home, but there really should be no difference regarding that..

I had a similar problem and the solution turn out to be to turn Focus Assist off (winkey + I -> System -> Focus Assist off). Or maybe you can configure it to let your app show notifications specifically. I turned Focus Assist on a whole while ago and have completely forgotten about it.

I don't know if I should start a new thread but Traytip() does not work on my new Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Mini PC either.

Firstly, I have found that, for me, the tray tip will not display at all unless there is some text in the title field.

Additionally, the first "properly formatted" tray tip does not display regardless, yet the second and subsequent tray tips do display.

My example script below demonstrates what I am talking about. So TT3 is the first to display, TT4 does not display and then TT5 does and of course TT6 displays 5 times.

(Yes, I have notifications enabled).

; $TIP_ICONASTERISK (1) = Info icon
; $TIP_NOSOUND (16) = Disable sound

TrayTip("TT1", "Dummy. This tip will not be seen.", Default, 17)
Sleep(1000)
TrayTip("", "This tip will also not be seen.", Default, 17)
Sleep(1000)
TrayTip("TT3", "This tip will be the first seen.", Default, 17)
Sleep(2000)
TrayTip("", "Again this tip will be not be seen as it has no title.", Default, 17)
Sleep(2000)
TrayTip("TT5", "This will be the second tip displayed.", Default, 17)
Sleep(2000)
For $i = 5 To 1 Step -1
  TrayTip("TT6", "Tray tip visible 5 times: (" & $i & ")", Default, 17)
  Sleep(1000)
Next

Added more information.

Just tested on Win11 22H2 and works fine but it might be something broken in 23H2. Wait for someone to confirm this but anyway it's more a windows related issues.

It wasn't working in 22H2 either. I have found several issues, some bizarre, with AutoIt under Windows 11. I will try to document them on the forum when I find time.

Ie, task manager shows the name of running scripts as aut2exe.exe instead of the actual name of the exe. I found it necessary to enter the full name of the target exe into the description field of resource update during compilation.
Intermittently, defining an icon for the executable during compilation is ignored. Works on some scripts but not on others. Could it be because the script name starts with "test"? Maybe due to some buffering issue with W11.
Setting a compiled script to run at startup via W+R\shell:startup does not work. It does start the exe but it is hiding somewhere in the background and does not actually function, its hotkeys don't work, despite running as administrator and every other trick I can think of.
EDIT: The above few items are intermittent. Sometimes it goes away when I reboot, other times, I dunno, it works - it doesn't work. I get confused because 'puters are supposed to be consistent and repeatable and I suspect that dementia may be setting in.

Typo.
