| Summary | 0002354: SpeedFan tray icon missing after Explorer crash | ||||
| Description | If Windows Explorer crashes, when it restarts, unlike the tray icons of other programs, the SpeedFan icon is not re-created, so the user must use Task Manager to kill the speedfan.exe process and re-run it to regain the icon. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Wait for Windows Explorer to crash (or kill it yourself by killing explorer.exe or holding Ctrl+Shift while right-clicking an empty space in the Start Menu and selecting Exit Explorer. 2. Restart Explorer (eg, Task Manager->Run->explorer). 3. Observe that while the icons of other programs are restored, SpeedFan’s is not. | ||||

Speedfan have to use 'RegisterWindowMessage("TaskbarCreated")' and 'ChangeWindowMessageFilter' functions to get notification about taskbar (re)creation. |

Hopefully this can be fixed soon because it is too troublesome to manually fix. (In addition to killing speedfan.exe and re-running it, you can also use something like WinSpy++ in elevated mode to show the main window, then minimize it, and the icon will be restored; but that too is a big hassle.) Fortunately it is pretty easy to fix. As MaxusR said, SpeedFan only needs to detect the TaskbarCreated message and run its show-tray-icon routine. Here is an example from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144179.aspx#Taskbar_Creation_Not LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { static UINT s_uTaskbarRestart; switch(uMessage) { case WM_CREATE: s_uTaskbarRestart = RegisterWindowMessage(TEXT("TaskbarCreated")); break; default: if(uMessage == s_uTaskbarRestart) AddTaskbarIcons(); break; } return DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMessage, wParam, lParam); } |
