I'm trying to populate a QSystemTrayIcon context menu using a for loop, but only the last item shows up. What happened to the other entries, and how do I fix it?

I'm following a system tray tutorial on Windows 10. When I run the example code, nothing happens — no icon shows up in the system tray, and I have to force the program to stop. Even when the icon does appear, quitting from the menu doesn't fully close the app — the icon lingers and I have to use Task Manager. Other examples from the web have the same problem. What's going on?
