Windows 10: Notification Center Icon is as a vertical window box

There is no bell icon in the notification center, instead there is a vertical window box regardless of which mode it is, normal or do not disturb or if there is a new notification, it's always a vertical box. I have the latest updates on Windows 11.

Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.
