Trigger "Show More Icons" arrow with shell command, hotkey, etc.

Does anyone know how to trigger this pop-up menu (see pic) with a command line, hotkey, etc.? Basically, I want some programable way to trigger this without having to click on anything. Using Windows 10 2004 Build.

I don't see how these links answer my question. I'm not trying to permanently hide the system tray, or hide/show any specific icons. I want to trigger the above pictured menu (i.e. Show Additional Icons; the upward arrow button in the notification area) from a shortcut, batch file, command line, hotkey, etc. Something I can program. So, in other words, when I am sitting at my computer, and I want to open the above pictured menu, I press a shortcut or something, and that menu pops up.

dalchina gave you that. You press the WinKey+B which will switch the focus to the up arrow, indicated by the box outlining it....



...then when you press Enter it pops up.

Oh... Yeah, that would work, but I've hidden the taskbar. I was looking for something that wasn't dependent on accessing the taskbar.

If you use NexusDock from Winstep, they have a feature that includes an icon that you can press and the menu appears. So they must be using some other way to access it. I had something like this in mind, but for the menu in question (see option 2): Action Center Shortcut - Create - Windows 7 Help Forums.
