Hi, this may sound dumb .
. but others have used this fix in the forum :
Close the mintUpdate icon in the taskbar (right-click -> close). Go to Menu -> Administration -> mintUpdate and start it from there, enter password, let it refresh.
Then it seems to auto-fix this . . . don't know why . . but it worked for them.
On reboot, the icon will be back in the tray.
Hope this helps, if not, post back, regards, Richy
