    After the last upgrade, my Dell Automatic Update no longer appears in the system tray and it no longer updates automatically. I have to go to the Start Menu, find it in the apps, and remember to update it manually. How do I get it back in the system tray? You say to right click on the taskbar and select “properties”, but there is no “properties” as an option.
