Why doesn’t the ADS icon on the menu bar update upon installing/upgrading/uninstalling ADS?

Installing/Upgrading ADS

MacOS 26 is automatically disabling the ADS icon on the menu bar upon new installation and/or upgrade. In order to make the ADS icon visible at the upper right corner: 

• Option 1:

1. Go to System Settings by clicking on the gear icon in your Dock.
2. Select General → Login Items & Extensions
3. Enable ‘ADS’ option in App Background Activity. The ADS icon should be visible at the upper right on the menu bar. 

• Option 2:

1. Reboot the workstation. Once the user session is up and running, the ADS icon should be visible at the upper right on the menu bar. 

Uninstalling ADS 

1. Click on the ADS icon at the upper right on the menu bar.
2. Select ‘Uninstall’ option from the dropdown.
3. Confirm and proceed with the uninstallation. Notice that ADS icon remains showing on the top menu bar.
4. Reboot the workstation. Notice that this time the ADS icon no longer displays on the menu bar.
