You don't, it's always been there (atleast for like the last 2 years or something). Put it into the overflow menu if you don't want to see it. But yeah always been there, even before you accidentally switched to background mode.

No it hasn't. Trust me I'm fully aware of what icons appear on my computer. The first time it appeared is when I clicked switch

Not really an F95Checker question, more of a Windows question - but here goes (assuming Win11):
  1. Right click on the task bar and select 'Taskbar settings'
    View attachment 4399419
  2. Expand 'Other system tray icons'
    View attachment 4399425
  3. Find F95Checker.exe in the list and turn it off, it will now be in the hidden icons that only come up when expanded

You're welcome and Happy New Year.

I am familiar with this method of hiding the icon.

I guess this has never been addressed before, or nobody cared, but right now the icon comes up whenever the app is run. I guess I need to know where the BG Mode value is stored so I can delete the reference so it stops going into BG Mode.

Edit: I am thinking it won't do any good to uninstall / reinstall because of where the values are stored.

I kinda figured you could figure it out, lolz. I've been using it for years now and it has always had a system tray icon.

Are you looking to make it so it exits instead of moving to the background maybe?

I mean no disrespect, but the tray icon is always enabled regardless of what options you set. The app won't start without creating the tray icon. You just never noticed it, maybe windows had hidden it in the overflow menu by default so you never saw it until you looked for it? But no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling will make it go away, as it's always enabled and always been there, hidden in overflow menu or not.

I recently started getting an error on 2 different games. It is saying Thread not found for Law School and Tales of Legendary Lust: Aphrodisia.

That's not at all what i said. I said the tray icon is always there when the tool is open (background mode or not). If you quit the tool, the tray icon goes away.
Whether clicking the X at top right of the window quits out of f95checker entirely (including removing the tray icon), or instead goes into background mode (closes the window but keeps the tray icon) is an option: the one WhiteVanDaycare showed you.
This option is intended for people who always want f95checker in background and don't want to click the "BG Mode: Switch" button, they can just close the windows and f95checker remains open in background mode.
This setting (and all other settings) has no impact on whether the tray icon is present while the window is open, it's always there, and that's what i thought you were saying wasn't the case.

Ok. What I'm saying is that I've never seen the icon in the system tray. From what you guys are saying the icon has always appeared in the system tray so I can admit I may have missed it or overlooked it. I now understand what you guys are saying.

Thanks for your persistence in helping me to understand, both you and WhiteVanDaycare.

If a thread gives an error that it can't be found, then this is very likely the result of the thread having been temporarily set to private for reasons. Most likely reason downloads being examined for possible malware. If the cache happens to recheck that thread when it is in that state, it'll very likely stay in that state until the refresh period expires in the cache (even if the thread has become publicly visible in the meantime). Or until WillyJL gets the chance to manually force a refresh for the affected threads. As he stated, he's currently not in a position to do so...

For some reason I think since the latest version, the thread - 'https://f95zone.to/threads/panophobia-final-black-stain.30658/'
does not update, gives this:

View attachment 4418439

I've been ignoring it, but figured I'd ask, since the game thread still exists, the error remains if I remove and re-add it.

Add it to archive, it will remove the error while letting you know is archived by having grey name, easy to unarchive it and recheck at a later date. As it was discussed a few pages behind on a few other games that give the same error, it might be Cache API issues and Willy will look into it when he can.

you could move them temporarily to a new tab and then archive them?
Once it is resolved, unarchive them, move them back to the tab they were in and remove the now useless tab?
Another alternative is to temporarily convert them to custom game via the More Info popup. And convert them back to F95 games in the same way when this is fixed.

Is there a setting to disable error messages from poping up in the program itself?
I use a laptop so it'll constantly spam error messages at me due to the laptop being closed and opened and temporarily out of internet etc., meaning when I open it to check an update I have to click thru a spam of dozens of ignored and irrelevant error messages.
Please help.
