Yes, there are 100s of threads about updating drivers taking CP out of the system tray, that isn't what this thread is about.

The bug happened to me, and clean install didn't fix it. Windows context menu is working fine, but there isn't an option to show in system tray within the "Desktop" drop down in CP.

However, the CP seems to working fine. Some of the custom game profiles I have in CP have been working, and I don't have any problems with CP freezing when I open it etc.

So my question is, does the system tray bug really matter? Are there any other problems associated with this bug I'm missing?

Yes I updated from 320.18 to 327.23. I did a normal custom install, then a custom clean install. The clean install did not fix the taskbar problem.

I unselected geforce experience with 327.23, when I installed it with 320.18.... and I'm thinking that may be the culprit. But I'd rather deal w/ not having CP in taskbar than having to keep reinstalling geforce experience every time I update drivers.

Yeah, I'm sure you're fine, it's just a little annoying.
