Bridge not starting minimized in system tray

Question

Previously, when I was on CS6, Bridge started up in my system tray at login, and stayed there until I needed it - and on X-ing out, it closed to my system tray.

Now, Bridge is not in the system tray at all, whether it's open or minimized. It is only in the main taskbar when it's open, therefore, I can't check "Start Bridge at Login" from the system tray context menu.

I have it checked in Preferences, but no matter what, it is not available in the system tray. When my system starts in the morning, it does NOT open in the background. It starts open on a monitor.

This behavior started after I upgraded to the Creative Cloud from CS6 when I was still on Windows 10 late last year. I performed a clean install of Windows 11 the other day, so it's not a conflict with the older version.

Is this just the way it works now, or is there a or a tweak perhaps in the registry that could fix this or is this a BUG?

Thanks for any suggestions!

So, here's an adendum to this question.  In Edit>Preferences>Startup Scripts, I usually only check Bridge and a couple of others. Because I'm trying to nail down this issue, I looked at "Reveal My Startup Scripts" and found the directory empty. Isn't that directory for these startup scripts? Does it normally contain shortcuts or are the startup scripts supposed to be in the form of ini files or something?  Wondering if this is the root of the problem.
