v.8 & v.9 - Windows 11

BUG: I've noticed some strangeness with the "put windows icons to the system tray" setting, I have never gotten it to work properly.  Here's a detailed description of what happens when I try, screenshots included.

1. Action: Open HotScreen
Result: Opens minimized as normal

2.) Action: Check the "put windows icons to the system tray" setting under tools
Result: Icons are still in the task bar - There is now an icon in the systems tray - The minimize and maximize button disappear, leaving only the X button, now a different shape 

3.) Action: Click the X button on menu
Result: HotScreen menu shrinks to tiny moveable tab (clicking the x does nothing; double clicking restores menu window) - Icons are still in task bar AND systems tray - Can only close HotScreen through right click menu on taskbar or systems tray

RANDOM INCONSITENCIES: Sometimes when I restore it, the minimize and maximize buttons have returned. When I click the X, it minimizes. When I restore it again, sometimes it's back to just being an X, other times not.  When the menu minimizes, sometimes it just disappears, other times it does the "shrinking and tucking away into your task bar" animation.

Let me know if a full-screen capture video would be helpful, I'm happy to provide.  I can also do a live demo of the occurrence with discord's screenshare if that would aid you. 

Ok, I didn't get it the first time. I think I found what causes your menu window to break (not fully going invisible) when you close it.

That should be fixed in the next update.

Unfortunately, the latest update did not fix the issue for me.  Here's a video to illustrate.
