Question

Windows 10 close to tray broken

OS: Windows 10 22H2
App: Deezer for Desktop v8.0.10

After the latest update, the close to tray behaviour is broken. Minimize should minimize the window keeping it available in the task bar (which it does), while close should make the app disappear from the task bar, keeping the icon in the system tray and the app running. Instead, it just closes the app.

So we have to keep the app open on the foreground just to be able to play music now… By the way, the tray icon behaviour continues to be broken (clicking it or double clicking it doesn’t open/give focus to the app window).

There is a related option in the settings, maybe the update has changed it?

Thanks for the reply!

I see no related option under settings. Going to File => Preferences => App Preferences there’s just some unrelated options:

A summary of disk usage (with a Clear button)
Do not recommend explicit content (swich: off)
Desktop notifications (switch: off)
Launch Deezer on startup (switch: on)

The other preference section have nothing regarding window behaviour, neither has the “Window” context menu or “Theme and Colour”.

Sorry that I didn’t post a screenshot but I get an error when I either insert an image or attachment here.

Sorry, mixed it up with the Spotify desktop app which has a related option in their settings, and I was changing these yesterday. 🙃

Same behaviour on windows 11 26H2, same deezer version. I don’t like to have too much tabs open when I do Alt+Tab. So I would enjoy the fix !
