No McAfee Agent shield / icon on the Taskbar although the Agent is deployed!?

[gregski]

Using ePO 5.10.0 CU6 and successfully deployed McAfee Agent 5.6.4.151 to my ePO server just for funsies and I do not see the McAfee shield on the taskbar in the lower right hand corner, like it does on all my other 2019 servers and all my other Windows 10 computers. 

I have my Taskbar Settings Notification Area set to Always show all icons in the notification area, and this works perfectly on all other machines.

This poses a problem as I like to click that shield and launch things such as the McAfee Agent Status Monitor....

TROUBLESHOOTING:

• So far I have rebooted this server a couple times, no dice. 
• I have also uninstalled the Agent (yes it was managed by the way) and re deployed it again successfully and still the shield will not show up on this Taskbar

has this ever happened to you? do you know how to fix it?

What if you run CmdAgent.exe /s (
C:\Program Files\McAfee\Agent>cmdagent.exe /s).

Are you accessing the machine through RDP? In that case, make sure that 'Enable McAfee system tray icon in a remote desktop session' is checked from MA General policy.
