Removing Copilot, also removes the Notification icon... when combined with turning all Notification items OFF, in Settings.

I don't think @Ghot's idea is permanent. If a new app wants to Enable notifications, the icon will reappear.

When MS was releasing the Copilot updates... I would see the Notification bell, pop up in the System Tray.
When I blocked Copilot, the bell went away.

Plus, I've always tried to block the Notifications in Settings. There's some that are buried two or three levels deep.

The only supported method is to hide Notification Center, but I don't know if that's a bad tradeoff.
