MB Tray Application appears displaying all windows (alt + tab or Windows + tab). (See screenshot) and if i close the windows (as shown on the screenshot), MB3 disapears from task bar.

I can't tell if the problem is due to the MB3 last update or if it is after the last update of Windows (Insiders Slow Ring build RS3 1709.16288.1) because I did not use virtual desktops since these two updates until today, and so I have not used these commands.

MB3 update : 09/15

Windows build update : 09/16

 

I uninstalled MB3 with mb-clean 3.1.0.1027 :

 

- No download and reinstallation proposal.

- Great difficulty to get into my account to get the license key (after the click, the MB3 window freezes during a long time).

- the license key was refused. After several tries (with always the same freezes) the key was accepted. 

And... The problem is always the same:  in "show all windows" mode, I always MB tray application.

This is a known side effect of a fix that was introduced. We are looking at some better alternatives for the future, but for now, this is expected.

Thanks.

I have (a little) searched on the forum for this topic, I have seen other issues with the tray app, but not this one.

However, I was surprised that MB cleaner does not offer reinstallation as it should.

That seems to happen for some but not all users.

There a few topics. I have found searching a pain personally.

This is the day when nothing is going right, so it makes sense.

I've only been through the first two or three pages of it. Research seems to have problems some days.

Did you purchase your key directly from Malwarebytes?

Yes, but it was cleaverbridge that handled this and the purchase is not recent, it was late December 2016 and I had never created an account. Since I had problems this morning during activation, I clicked on "manage my subscription" my email address was prefinited and I didn't have a password, obviously. So I clicked on "I forgot my password" and an email was sent asking me to set up my account. That's what I did, and then, no account setup confirmation mail, and i can't log in. All browsers respond to me error 504, the page can not be reached or too long to respond. And I've tried it dozens of times.

Exactly the same problem as here:

Yes, same here.  I use alt+tab so much is was kinda bugging me so I put version 3.1.2(.1733) back on.  Figured it was just a glitch & would check again in a couple weeks.  Thank you for posting, good to know it's not just me.
