Windows notification area arrow icon

[ParallelsU197]

Is there anyway to remove the arrow icon from the menubar when it is empty? I thought the arrow icon would disappear once all windows icons were gone.

I know about the option to remove all icons from the menubar but I want certain icons to popup in the menubar when I open certain apps.

Right now the arrow icon is completely empty and when clicked it opens windows settings

Hello ParallelsU197, That two red lines indicates Parallels Desktop application is running, Kindly quit Parallels Desktop completely then the two red lines will disappear. It will come only when Parallels Desktop is started.
