Every time Kaspersky Security for Windows Server automatically starts after a protected device reboot, the System Tray Icon is displayed in the toolbar notification area . It is displayed by default if the System Tray Icon component was installed during application setup.

The appearance of the System Tray Icon reflects the current status of device protection. Two statuses are possible:

active (colored icon) — if at least one of the following tasks is currently running: Real-Time File Protection, Applications Launch Control

inactive (gray icon) — if none of the following tasks is currently running: Real-Time File Protection, Applications Launch Control

You can open the context menu of the System Tray Icon by right-clicking it.

The context menu offers several commands which can be used to display application windows (see the table below).
