Windows 10 settings allow you to enable or disable the display of the microphone icon.
Is there a Windows API function for this?
Is it possible to write a powershell script or a c++ program to automate this action?

I have windows 10 20H2 19042.572.
the microphone icon is enabled in the settings, but not shown in the tray. it appears for a few seconds when I allow, for example, chrome to use the microphone. Then it disappears and I can't call it anymore.
question: you don’t need an icon there for the sake of some kind of aesthetic pleasure, right? what is the end goal? maybe you can do what you want to do without using an icon?
