It’s due to the way that they are stored. Windows needs a way of identifying
them and does so with a combination of filename and the icon tooltip. However
most tray icons change their appearance and their tooltip text (that’s the whole
point to tray notifications). As a result, an icon that has been configured may
not be correctly identified when you run the program again and it has a
different tooltip. You’ll notice that tray icons that always have the same text
are fine.

Like I said, the whole point to the notification area is to give you info on
changing system status like temperature, CPU load, etc. (you’re not really
supposed just put stuff there to hide it like many apps do). Technically
speaking, you could leave the tooltip text alone and just change the icon
itself, which would solve the problem, but most devs who change the icon also
change the tooltip.
