Windows 11 - Microphone icon in system tray

Hello.

I was wondering, is there any way to completely get rid of the microphone icon on the system tray without including adding it onto the "Show hidden icons"?

It's really annoying having that.

    I had the same issue for a long of time. The only solution for this by now is deleting the device from your system, rebooting. Win 11 reinstalls the device once again and this Icon disappears from you desktop. + win 23 update was installed.

    I want to get rid of it because it covers up my system clock, along with that stupid reload (or whatever) icon.

    This is incorrect - you can safely ignore it.
