Windows 10: Microphone Icon in system tray hides the arrow to get access to other programs.

Hi,I had to format so I installed Windows 11 pro.Everything went really smoothly but I have a bug that I can't live with. Whenever I use a program that uses the microphone, the icon appears beside the system tray on the right of the taskbar, but then the arrow to get access to the system tray icons disappears. The fact that Windows 11 does not let you lock/unlock the taskbar makes it impossible to do something about it...that I know of.Here is some screenshotsIs there anything I can do to get rid of the Microphone icon? I understand why it's there, you want to know when the microphone is activ

hello @Jacee the article you shared is a kind of maintaining the system tray itself via traditional tools , where I can choose what to be shown in sysTray. but what Im looking for is the location of this /\ picture in system folders so I could replace it or delete . it is about the graphical icon now

so the question is where this arrow initial ICON can be found in the system ? maybe system32 or any other folder.
not the system tray area, but the picture itself, as an .ico probably.
