Back again, are we haha
Been using this amazing app for quite some time now
Lately, I've got a new device to work on, and decided to give Win 11 another go
Freshly installed OS with nothing preloaded.
Running Windows 11 Pro 23H2(Build 22631.4317) atm

I've tried the official latest version 4.0 SR1, also the beta one 4.0 SR2.
Both having the same issue with icon duplication after every OS reboot.

Did some digging, found out that under the system registry:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\NotifyIconSettings\"
You can see all the registered software there under its directory.
Somehow, with every OS boot, the MemInfo would refresh/renew an UID.
Which is why the system has been treating it as a new software, and hide it in the tray every single time.
By removing the "NotifyIconSettings" would solve the duplication in OS settings though.
MemInfo Registry UID

I do believe this is mostly an issue on Microsoft side
However, there are some other open-source project that also had the same issue and got it solved.
It's a project called "PowerToys", they seemed to fix it by tweaking the "RegisterWindowMessage" function.
