Hello, I updated my PC a few days ago and one of the new features is something I'd like to hide if possible, thank you in advance ^^

Hello,

With version 1903 of Windows 10

Right-click on the taskbar and then → Taskbar settings
Section → Notification area
Click on the line → Turn system icons on or off


Disable the Microphone at the bottom of the page


Restart the PC.

Edit:
On my PC, the icon is indeed enabled in the settings but does not appear in the notification area or on the taskbar.

It could be that a device like a headset or headphones was left plugged in during the update, or try unplugging and replugging the audio jack if there are speakers as considerations.


Ps: I greet jee pee by the way.

A+

Hello, there are also applications that use the microphone, especially games, but that's another story.
If you encounter a problem with the microphone, there is a tutorial here for Windows 10.
