OVERVIEW

No KDE Connect icon in Windows 10 taskbar tray.
(aka: Windows Notification Tray)

(This is the area to the left of the taskbar clock.)
However, KDE messages and notifications do appear in the Windows 10 Action
Center message/notification list.
(This is the button to the right of the taskbar clock.)
Bug introduced sometime within the past half year.
Using Windows 10, installed
kdeconnect-kde-21.04.2-637-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.exe
Other users have reported this too recently (May 2021):

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-------------------------
When I used a build from early 2021, and everything was fine, functionality
worked, tray icon was consistently present.
A few months ago I reinstalled Windows 10. I did a first time install of KDE
Connect's most recent stable build on July 1st, 2021, and the tray icon is now
missing.
My Windows Task Manager does display the following processing running:
kdeconnect-app.exe
kdeconnect-indicator.exe
kdeconnectd.exe
but no KDE Connect tray icon.
