How to Remove Mic and Notification Bell Icons from the Right Side of the Taskbar in Windows 11

Greetings,

 

I'm Tanvi, here to provide you with assistance today.

 

Kindly follow these instructions for the task at hand:

1. Begin by right-clicking on a vacant space on your taskbar.

2. Proceed to choose "Taskbar settings" from the dropdown.

3. Locate the "Microphone" and "Notification" icons within the "Taskbar items" section.

4. If a toggle switch accompanies them, simply switch them off to eliminate their presence from the taskbar.

 

I trust this guidance proves beneficial. Feel free to reach out if you require further assistance.

 

Have a wonderful day!

    I am talking about two two icons that overlay the system date/time in the lower right of the screen.

    My task settings "Taskbar Items" only lists Task View and Widgets, and both are turned off.

    There is no "Microphone" and "Notification" icons within the "Taskbar items" I can't see it anywhere in taskbar settings.

      I found out that they're caused by Nvidia's programs, not Microsoft's.  Thanks though.
