Turn system icons (notifications) on/off resets on restart

I noticed that when I turn off some of the the language input indicator in the system icons / notifications area, it doesn't save the state and turns back on on restart. Is this a known issue? What could be causing this?

Specifically what I'm referring to:

• In notifications area, click the small arrow
• Click Customize
• Click "Turn system icons on or off"

I noticed a comment here says the change is for the session only. Why would that be intended behavior...?

How else can I turn the language input indicator off permanently? (It takes an awful lot of space).

Try this:

1. Go to Control Panel → Clock, Language, and Region → Language → Advanced Settings

2. Under "Switching Input Methods" make sure that "Use the desktop language bar when it's available" is checked

3. Click the Options link to its right. A new window should pop up.

4. Go to the "Language Bar" tab and set "Language Bar" to Hidden

5. Finally hit OK and Save
