Go to SolutionIcon in Taskbar - Dell Common Settings
I have a new Dell Inspiron 3847 running Windows 10. An icon has appeared in the taskbar that I can't do anything with except mouseover, which displays "Dell Common Settings". It looks like a white gear on a blue background. Can anyone tell me just what this is? I doesn't seem to be doing anything that I can tell - other than just aggravating me! Appreciate any ideas about it's purpose.

Same here, on Dell XPS 8700, WIn 10.
Yes, same happened in my company... This week some notebooks Latitude E7440 received a Dell Foundation Services update, version 2.2.65.0.... After this update a bunch of invisible icons has appeared in the taskbar that We can't do anything with except mouseover... and the notebook has been very slowly.
Also there was a process that was appearing and disappearing in the tasklist called dfssystrayui.exe
The only solution was uninstall the Dell Foundation Services =/

I just removed it by uninstalling the Dell Foundation Services program. I have no idea what it did, but it's gone now.
