I got this error message [shell_NotifyIcon] Failed to perform desired action. Error code 2.

What does this mean?

Hello and Welcome -

Was this during any specific operation, or during a scan, or during a download ??

The Error Code 2 has several meanings, if you can help by being a bit more specific as to when the error occurred -

Thank You -
