Windows 10: Simple Notification

Pretense: I have a server that i do almost all operations on via RDP so i don't need to use multiple keyboards/mice. Sure initial setup is done with dedicated monitor and peripherals, but i'd like to not have to shimmy into the server space to operate that everytime i want to encode videos or sort out what has failed now. (Side-note: Since switching to Windows 10 Pro from 2012 R2 Datacenter i haven't had nearly as many crashes)

That said, in order to tell if the system is active i need to do 1 of either: RDP to it, or try to access a mapped drive from it. If its down and i fail to check before starting up OBS and try recording, then its more often than not that i don't even notice the notification: "Could not access storage location"

So i just recently thought, if the "Recycle Bin" can change icon based on the status of files marked for recycling, can't we have some sort of icon on desktop to notify whether or not the server is online? Would this be something simple or something hard? I thought maybe just Shortcut to something from Desktop, but that'd be a static icon even if the connection was lost.

What i want is a Greed light for online and when offline its Red, kinda like how the "Recycle Bin" is empty when nothing marked, and full when something is marked.

I tried googling for this, but not knowing what to call it, i just got a bunch of "my network connections icon is gone, how to fix?" results.

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
