In Windows 7 64-bit (not tried elsewhere) if the Windows Explorer shell crashes and then restarts, TC is not visible anymore, either in Taskbar or in the Notification area. It is still running, because I can see it if I launch Taskmanager. And is apparently not crashed because all attached consoles are running. I use to launch Cygwin and attach it to a TC tab and I can notice its actvity even though I have no access to TC anymore.
This appears to be a bug. When the Shell crashes and restarts all processes reappear in the taskbar or in the notification area, except TC
