I'm guessing its some ipc that only adds or removes entries, but when you mouseover it sends a signal to the killed process, realizes its gone, and only then deletes the icon from the systray...
For all the hard work they did with driver updates, actual driver management still sucks very badly. Simple concepts such as pinning a driver, something that could be a checkbox, requires edits to the registry or group policy: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/146562-prevent-windows-u...

Did they not look up the PC manufacturer or model number to verify this hypothesis?
