After you successfully upgrade to VSE 8.8 Patch 9 or 14 from any earlier patch, users on the client observe that the VSE (VShield) icon is not displayed in the Windows System tray.

The issue occurs after you change the respective McAfee Agent General policy to not display the McTray icon by deselecting the option Show the McAfee system tray icon (Windows only).

This issue is observed despite having the VSE General Options Policies configured to Show the system tray icon with all menu options.
