It seems to be an issue with the tray indicator/icon, as it does not appear at all, but I was still able to pair my phone with the notification that popped up. 


Without access to the tray icon, using KDE Connect on Windows is very difficult, if not impossible if you do not receive the notification. I've not seen the tray icon on multiple versions of KDE Connect nightly builds and versions of Windows.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 11: 21996.1
Windows 10: 21H1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using a OnePlus 7T with Android 11.

will be fixed by the new release build coming around 9th July

if you can't wait, get a build from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/kdeconnect-kde_Nightly_win64/ instead
