This is not a solution to anything. Yes, the window exists and you can check the box but it doesn't enable anything. After checking it you can't uncheck it anymore. It's just broken and useless. New Application application icons will still be hidden and need to be dragged/enabled to appear on the Systray.
This is why nobody likes Win11. I sadly have a Laptop with this pseudo OS and I can't downgrade to Windows 10 for there are some missing drivers. Thankfully my desktop PC is my main machine and this cartoon of an OS I just use it sometimes to watch Netflix. But I wont upgrade until Win10 gets crippled completely after it's end of support which is gonna be many more years than 2025.
yes, worthless... however, the next solution works perfectly...
