desktop: tray icon missing on Windows, no way to fully quit from UI #54217
Description
Summary
OpenCode Desktop on Windows does not register a system tray icon, so there is no visible way to fully quit the app (including its background service) from the UI.
Environment
- opencode version: 2.0.26 (Desktop
OpenCode.exe2.0.26.0 + bundledopencode-cli.exe2.0.26) - OS: Windows_NT 10.0.22631 (Windows 11 23H2, win32 x64)
- Terminal: Unavailable: launched via Desktop app, no terminal context
- Shell: Unavailable: not terminal-related
- Install/channel: Desktop release build (
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\@opencodedesktop\OpenCode.exe) - Active plugins: none configured
Reproduction
- Launch OpenCode Desktop on Windows 11.
- Open the taskbar corner overflow (
^/ hidden icons flyout) and inspect every icon. - No OpenCode icon is present (screenshot attached in report thread).
- Restart Windows Explorer (
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force) and check again — still absent. - Close the app window;
OpenCode.exerenderer processes exit butopencode-cli.exe(background service) keeps running with no tray menu to quit it.
Expected Behavior
The app registers a tray icon at startup (as in previous versions), with a context menu offering Quit that also stops the background service.
Actual Behavior
No tray icon is registered at all, so closing the window leaves the background service running and the user has no in-UI path to fully exit (must use Task Manager / taskkill).
Additional Context
- Consistently reproducible across restarts.
- Processes observed while running: 6x
OpenCode.exe(Electron, expected) + 1xopencode-cli.exeservice. - No autostart Run entry; installed per-user, no admin install.
- Workaround:
taskkill /IM opencode-cli.exe /Fto stop the service.

Thanks for the detailed report! I think this is a duplicate of #50633. It describes the same thing: OpenCode Desktop on Windows has no tray icon, and the background
opencode-cli.exeservice keeps running after the window is closed, so it can only be stopped with Task Manager ortaskkill.Possible duplicates and closely related issues, ordered by likelihood:
opencode-cliserviceAs far as I can tell, current v2 Desktop doesn't create a tray icon at all, so this looks like how v2 currently works rather than something that broke in 2.0.26. Until there's an in-app option,
taskkill /IM opencode-cli.exe /Fremains the workaround.The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

Closing as duplicate of #50633 (same root cause: no Windows tray icon + no clean service shutdown). Repro details kept there.

Thanks for confirming! You can follow #50633 for the tray icon and a clean service shutdown. Until there's an in-app option,
taskkill /IM opencode-cli.exe /Fremains the workaround.opencode-agent commentedon Oct 10, 2026
Closing this as a duplicate of #50633, as you confirmed. Please follow that issue for the Windows tray icon and a Quit that also stops the background
opencode-cliservice. Until then,taskkill /IM opencode-cli.exe /Fis the workaround. Thanks for the detailed report!
