In the list, you can select the behaviour for each icon. The most appropriate setting for the standard user is probably "Only show notifications". If you want to tweak the system to your likings, try the "Turn system icons on or off". Remember, you can always revert to the default settings by clicking "Restore default icon behaviours" if you feel you applied too many changes.

Notifications and actions

The notification area is located in the Windows task bar. This is by default the area in the right lower corner of your screen. Here you will see small popups called notifications containing compact information of running apps or programs on your computer. You can choose which notifications allowed to popup in the notification area as well as which icons you would like to see in the taskbar.
