    Trying to get rid of two icons on the status bar (image attached)


    The Windows 10 taskbar (system area on the right) has two icons that I would love to get rid of. One indicates the keyboard language "English" which is the only language installed, so it's superfluous. The other is the box which is a totally useless indicator of system notices. This is on my laptop, currently v2004 and it was the same in version 1909. My desktop is still v1909 and never had this icon.
    P.S. I could use the taskbar real estate.

    Have you considered turning these two off? Works for me.
