Since GlobalProtect can be enforced or not depending on how it's configured, the "easiest" way to accomplish this across the board is ensuring that it's always running via the service. If GlobalProtect isn't actively connected it consumes next to no resources, so leaving it running shouldn't cause any issues outside of the icon being visible.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 06 Nov 2025 14:47:15 GMT https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/close-globalprotectapp-from-taskbar/m-p/1241369#M125479 BPry 2025-11-06T14:47:15Z
