Why has the tray icons still existing despite process being killed bug gone unfixed for decades?

Microsoft does not care or extremely sucks at quality assurance.

This is a bug of the application and not of windows.

It's maybe a bad API design, but in the end every app developer can fix it for their apps.

I'm guessing its some ipc that only adds or removes entries, but when you mouseover it sends a signal to the killed process, realizes its gone, and only then deletes the icon from the systray...

For all the hard work they did with driver updates, actual driver management still sucks very badly. Simple concepts such as pinning a driver, something that could be a checkbox, requires edits to the registry or group policy: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/146562-prevent-windows-u...

Did they not look up the PC manufacturer or model number to verify this hypothesis?

Why has the display control panel pointer truncation bug gone unfixed for long?
