The tray menu does not appear in Windows 11

[15traven]

Windows 11 20H2 build 22621.1702

Here is my code

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
tray-icon = "0.19.2"

main.rs

 let exit_item = MenuItem::new("Exit", true, None);
 let menu = Menu::new();
 let _ = menu.append_items(&[
     &PredefinedMenuItem::about(
         None, 
         Some(AboutMetadata {
             name: Some("Test".to_string()),
             ..Default::default()
         })
     ),
     &PredefinedMenuItem::separator(),
     &exit_item
 ]);
 
 let tray_icon = TrayIconBuilder::new()
     .with_menu(Box::new(menu))
     .with_icon(connected_icon.clone())
     .build()
     .unwrap();

Nothing happens when I click the tray icon regardless of the mouse button

If I add the common-controls-v6 feature, I get the error:

error: process didn't exit successfully: `target\debug\mercury.exe` (exit code: 0xc0000139, STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND)

Can you provide a full minimal reproduction? It's a bit hard to help without any code context.
Also, did you try the repo examples? Do they work ok?

About the common-controls-v6 error, that's more or less expected. You will have to embedd a Manifest into your executable for this to work.

I tried tao example. That doesn't work either.

Here is the complete code

use std::time::Duration;
use tokio::time::sleep;
use tray_icon::{
    menu::{
        AboutMetadata, Menu, MenuItem, PredefinedMenuItem
    }, 
    TrayIconBuilder,
};

async fn check_connection() -> Result<(), reqwest::Error>{
    let res = reqwest::get("https://google.com").await;
    match res {
        Ok(_) => Ok(()),
        Err(err) => Err(err)
    }
}

fn load_icon(path: &std::path::Path) -> tray_icon::Icon {
    let (icon_rgba, icon_width, icon_height) = {
        let image = image::open(path)
            .expect("Failed to open icon path")
            .into_rgba8();
        let (width, height) = image.dimensions();
        let rgba = image.into_raw();
        (rgba, width, height)
    };
    tray_icon::Icon::from_rgba(icon_rgba, icon_width, icon_height).expect("Failed to open icon")
}

    let connected_icon_path = concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/assets/connected_icon.png");
    let connected_icon = load_icon(std::path::Path::new(connected_icon_path));

    let disconnected_icon_path = concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/assets/disconnected_icon.png");
    let disconnected_icon = load_icon(std::path::Path::new(disconnected_icon_path));

    let exit_item = MenuItem::new("Exit", true, None);

    let _ = menu.append_items(&[

                ..Default::default()
            })
        ),

            }
            Err(_err) => {

            }
