I always used to have a TwinCAT remote status icon in the bottom bar of Visual Studio (2017 Community).

enter image description here

However, after a recent update of Visual Studio this icon disappeared. How can I get this icon back?

You can get this icon back by going to Tools > Options > Environment > General and make sure the option "Enable rich client visual experience" is selected.

The given solution was not working for me, as an alternative go to: C:\TwinCAT\3.1\System\TcSysUI.exe and create a shortcut from that exe file, after that paste it in the start up folder.

To find the start up folder just type: win + r, it will open the following window

win+r

In the text box write the following line: shell:startup and copy the short cut to the opened folder:

startup folder

After a restart the icon was visible to me.
