Unhappy Hiding icons in the Task bar

I have been trying to hide an icon from the task bar using the task bar and start menu. I select customize, then hide always and apply, which works OK.
But when i reboot computer next time the icon is in view again and it has changed to hide when inactive. Is there a way to prevent this change taking place?

Local area connection, i have already been through the process of trying to remove it permanently and cannot so i thought i would try and hide it always as it sits in view in the tray with a red cross across it.

If you aren't using the network adapter, disable it in device manager, then the disconnected icon will not come up.
