Understanding the Icons
There are four different icons RTX64 System Tray application could display, depending on the product(s) installed (Runtime and/or SDK), and the state of the system.
| Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|

The primary RTX64 System Tray icon. This icon only appears when the SDK is installed but not the Runtime. When the Runtime is installed, this icon is replaced by one of the following three icons. |
|
(Only when Runtime installed) The Subsystem is running with no known issues. |
|
(Only when Runtime installed) The Subsystem is stopped with no known issues. |

The Subsystem is in an error state. When this icon is displayed, a balloon notification appears every 5 minutes with error details. You can also hover the mouse cursor over the icon for additional details. RTX64 System Tray checks to make sure RTX64 services are present on the system and active. When a service cannot be found, RTX64 System Tray displays a notification. To restore a missing service, you must reinstall RTX64. |
Right-Click Menu Options
The right-click menu accessible from RTX64 System Tray icon provides links to RTX64 tools and Help information. The content of the RTX64 System Tray right-click menu will differ depending on whether the RTX64 Runtime and/or SDK is installed on the machine.
