I checked it, and the following happens:


It starts with Notes pinned:

[icons...] [Notes-pinned] [icons...]


When you click on it, a new window is created, which replaces the pinned item:

[icons...] [Notes-window-1] [icons...]


Then, for some reason Notes creates a second window:

[icons...] [Notes-window-1] [icons...] [Notes-window-2]

Note that because grouping is disabled, the second window is created at the end of the taskbar.


Finally, the first window is closed:

[icons...] [icons...] [Notes-window-2]


It's a problem with Notes, and you have the following workarounds you can use:

  • Enable the "When not grouping, place new items next to the existing ones" option. That will affect all programs.
  • Enable grouping for Notes in Taskbar Inspector.

Just use a service such as Google Drive to upload the video, and post the link here.

It has a description. Please ask in one of the Windows-related forums for more help.

No idea why one is black and the other is right. I'd try unpinning both, then restarting the computer, then running the app from another shortcut or start menu, then, when it runs, pin it by right clicking on it on the taskbar. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

"pin it by right-clicking on the running AnyDesk instance" - I meant right click on it (the red icon) on the taskbar and pin it.

Sorry, it becomes difficult and I don't have more time for it. That's not what I meant. Try reading my previous message again. If you don't know what "pin" and "unpin" mean on the taskbar, read about it online.

Yes, that explains it. The ids "Microsoft.AutoG..." and "prokzult ad" are different, that's why they're separated.


First thing I'd try to do is unpin the pinned items and then pin it by right-clicking on the running AnyDesk instance. Perhaps the pinned item will get the "prokzult ad" id and both will group.

I'm looking for the second instance of this, on the taskbar and in the list.

That's unexpected, the Windows default behavior is to replace the pinned item with the running task when it's launched. So there's something weird going on here. Maybe if you attach a screenshot with Taskbar Inspector and the full information it will provide a hint.

No, I don't see the second AnyDesk item. Not on the taskbar, not in Taskbar Inspector.
