[Python] QMenu for a tray icon doesn't show

I’m trying to create a mouse right-click menu for a QSysTrayIcon, but the menu doesn’t show.

What I do is this:

def create_tray_icon(self):
# Create the application instance
self.app = QApplication(sys.argv)
self.icon = QSystemTrayIcon()
self.icon.setIcon(QIcon("MyIcon.ico"))
self.icon.setToolTip(f"Row1\nRow2\n"
f"Row3")

# Create a context menu for the tray icon
menu = QMenu()

# Add a "Quit" option to the menu
quit_action = QAction("Quit")
quit_action.triggered.connect(self.app.quit)
menu.addAction(quit_action)

# Set the context menu for the tray icon
self.icon.setContextMenu(menu)

# Show the tray icon
self.icon.show()


The tray icon shows, the tooltip, too, but if I right click the icon I don’t see the Quit option.

I’m on windows 11

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
