+### Show notification bell icon
+
+This policy setting allows you to show the notification bell icon in the system tray:
+
+- If you enable this policy setting, the notification icon is always displayed
+- If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the notification icon is only displayed when there's a special status (for example, when *do not disturb* is turned on)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> A reboot is required for this policy setting to take effect.
