Hello, This is a new Alienware m15 R3 with RTX 2070 Super purchased from Best Buy. Out of the box, started Windows 10 initial setup, and took all Windows and Alienware updates. I opened up the Nvidia Control Panel (version 8.1.959.0) from GeForce Game Ready Driver version 460.89.In the Desktop menu I see following menu items =Enable Developer SettingsAdd Desktop Context Menu The Desktop menu is missing following items =Show Notification Tray IconDisplay GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area I have other machines with same versions of Nvidia Control Panel and Game Ready Driver, and there the Nvidia Control Panel under Desktop menu shows all items? Does anyone else with the m15 R3 have the same issue in the Nvidia Control Panel? Thanks much.

I have the same issue. Can not find a fix. Only difference is mine is an m17 R3. You find a work around?

Fixed in by returning the unit to Best Buy. Never again, will I buy Dell, this is the second time. First one was with Dell XPS 13. Thank goodness for Best Buy return policy!
