I had this same problem. It appears that the "don't show asterisks" setting is not saved between sessions, unless you also set a separate toggle to save settings between sessions. I do not know why it was decided to have a setting not saved unless a second setting says to save the first setting. Why stop at two? Why not three? Or ten? Setting <-- Save that setting <-- Save that setting <-- Save that setting <-- etc. For myself, I preferred a single setting, which was simply saved. But I am grateful...

I un-checked "Show in taskbar", and now it works the way it was workng before. The icon is in the tray, and when I open a session, the pop-up menu goes away. And I just realized that the toggle says "taskbar", not "tray". So this was probably my fault. :) Thank you for your assistance.

Putty Session manager version 0.50.189.0 Windows 10 Pro version 1909 Under Options > General, the following are checked: - Start on logon - Confirm on exit - Show in taskbar - Minimize on startup - Auto minimize - Always on top "Minimize on startup" still works: when I start the computer, PSM is minimized and in the taskbar. But once I use it, it will no longer minimize to the taskbar. Not automatically, and not manually.

I have been using PSM for many years, and I find it invaluable. Recently -- just in the past week or two -- it has started exhibiting a behaviour I can't explain. Normally, I double click the icon in the tray, the tree of saved sessions opens, and I right click the session I want and select WinSCP. WinSCP opens, and PSM minimizes back to the tray again. That last part doesn't happen anymore: PSM minimizes, but only to its icon on the task bar. The task bar icon stays right there. It no longer minimizes...
