Issue with V14 notification area icons

[aspdend]

I bought my good lady a V14 at Christmas and the only complaint I have is that the notification area icons keep filling up with hundreds of copies of the same icon. It is a small laptop with a red crossed out circle over the top. Can anbody help me identify what it is and how i can stop it?? It's driving me mad.

Looking in Cntrol Panel>Notification Area Icons - it is identified as Hotkey v3.0013

I can't LMB or RMB on the icons and when I hover the mouse over them they disappear, but new ones keep appearing...

Here are a couple of screendumps, one showing the notification area with all the icons in it, the other form the control panel.

how about setting that icon to hide icons and notifications

Try and find the program/driver that creates it, and reinstall it..?

I could do that - but I want to find the cause and stop it, not just hide it
