Description
Since latest updates of Windows 11 and ExplorerPatcher, I am no longer able to selectively hide or show Systray symbols.
There is a link in EP Taskbar settings "Customize notification area icons" which leads to the "old" Windows system settings. Settings can be changed here, but without any effect. After changing a setting and clicking Ok, the setting is reverted upon opening the settings again.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior through ExplorerPatcher's Taskbar settings and Windows 11's "Customize notification area icons" page using the reported versions. Trace why a changed visibility setting is reverted after clicking Ok, and consider the issue done when notification-area icons can again be selectively hidden or shown and the choice persists.
