doesnt preserve pinned icons order

Try to figure out which option causes this behavior. From your screenshot, I'd suspect the "Don't group" option. If you switch it back to "Group by Application ID", does it fix the issue?

Also, please open Taskbar Inspector before running the app, make a screenshot, then open it after running the app and make another screenshot. Post the screenshots here.

AWESOME!

That helped!

Thank you a lot!

Great, so it's something with grouping. Still, it shouldn't happen even when the option is enabled, and looks like a bug.

Is it enough to pin the Notes program to reproduce the problem?

Yes

After some testing i dont think that this is a bug... coz other pinned applications - stay at their location:

It only happens with (installed from MS Store):

, and this app has many standalone windows (notes list, note1, note2.. note N). So I guess, your advice with  "Group by Application ID" is just what needs to be done for such applications.

as you've asked - TBInspector before:

TBInspector after:

Indeed it looks like it's not a bug, it's just that more than one window is being opened. It's similar to opening one window of Notepad++, then a second window of Notepad++, and then closing the first window.

You can do the following:

• Enable the "Don't group pinned items" option to always keep pinned items separated.
• Disable the "Don't group" option, but it will affect all programs.
• Enable grouping only for the notes windows, as following:
  

Thanks for the new advice, but i stick with the first one, coz it is actually what I need. It also makes all Explorer windows show their correct icons and not the default one.
