Unknown Menubar Icon

[mariodante]

I have a menubar icon that doesn't show up unless you click on it and I can't erase it with the Command function. It looks like a white tent and I'm wondering what it is and how to get rid of it! HELP!

isn't that under the menubar? & have you rebooted? could be a residual image from some app...

Yes it is under the menu bar but that icon only shows up when I click on the empty space above it. I’ve tried restarting it doesn’t go away.

check your startup items in system preferences>users & groups. did you install any new apps? check their preferences... try creating a test admin account, see if it shows up in that. something happened to put that there....

If you have dark mode turned on, try turning off to see if the icon shows up.

Hi all, yes I've rebooted several times. I've also checked Activity Monitor after restart to see if anything funky comes up, but I can't seem to notice anything weird. I tried running appCleaner and didn't see anything suspicious...
