If it worked in previous version and is broken in 60 (with thunderbird started in safe mode) then you should file a bug report. (FWIW I'm not aware of any such regressions in version 60)

If it didn't work in previous version then I would say we are not working on it.

Under W10 Settings/Personalization/Taskbar/Notification area, 'Select which icons appear on the taskbar', do you have Thunderbird turned to On?

Plus, 'Show a tray icon' must be checked in Tools/Options/General.

Working here with W10/TB 60.
