I'm currently running Windows 7 Pro, but I will be getting a Windows 11 Pro desktop computer soon.

In Windows 7 Pro, one can customize the icons in the task bar's notification area. This can be accomplished by going to either

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons which gives the following window:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons\System Icons which gives the following window:
notifications2.jpg

Does Windows 11 Pro offer similar customization? If so, where?
