I have recently noticed that when I restart my pc, or sometimes curious to see if it is running, I can’t see the program running in the task bar as it usually used to. If I double click on its icon on my desktop then it will show its icon in the task bar again. Also I can not find this program among those start up programs when I look in the msconfig. After opening the program I can see that the database has been updated. I have tried to repair it but it hasn’t helped. Is this a normal behavior for this program with this version, as I have been using this program for a long time and haven’t seen it behave like this.

Yes I have tried to repair it but it hasn’t helped. This problem doesn’t happen every time I restart, but its annoying to know that it happens. Just restarted my laptop and this time is showing in the task bar.
What version of Windows are you using?

No, if it was missing or corrupted, you would have issues.
