Hide notification
So yes, I know this is a commonly used question, but I can't do it on my own.
If I go to Settings -> System -> Notifications; Notifications tabs is greyed out. The button is set to "Off" and clicking does nothing.
As expected, this panel has an informative "(!) Some of these settings are managed by your organization".
I managed to do it with some Regedit tweaks, but after a Windows Update, the bell will show up again. No big deal, I know. But an icon on the taskbar saying "No new notification" is pretty useless.
What is the best way to definitively (permanently) turn it off ?

Some notifications are tied to system components that may re-enable after updates. If your system is managed by an organization (e.g., corporate device), certain settings might be locked down, preventing permanent changes.
Because Windows updates might reset some settings, you can:
- Save your registry tweaks in a .reg file.
- Use a batch script or PowerShell to reapply them at startup.
- Or, better yet, use a Group Policy (if available) to enforce these settings.
