Sticky Notes Icon on taskbar is not combined

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.  

This issue could happen if the taskbar button are not set to combine, you can try the troubleshooting below and check if this works for you.

Are you facing this issue with all the other apps like notepad, wordpad etc. as well?

Method 1: Change combine taskbar button to Always, hide labels.

1. Navigate to Settings > Personalization > taskbar.
2. Scroll down to and search for Combine taskbar buttons from the right pane.
3. Select Always, hide labels from the drop down.
4. Close settings and check.

Additional information: How to use the taskbar in Windows 10.

If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information and the screenshot of the issue.

Same problem appear for me after 1903 update

Microsoft, FIX THIS.  NO.  ONE.  WANTS.  IT.

I HATE combining all windows, and Sticky notes did NOT need to be split apart into separate windows for ANY reason.

my company computer got the Windows updated recently and i found this sticky note issue.

and WOW, there is no solution for this issue??

i found myself the same with many people here.

i have many stickies and i don't like tab combining for all other apps.

i want those stickies to appear only with one click on the tab.

why Microsoft aren't they hear us????

I just found a better app for sticky notes than the Windows 10 version. Until this update, I've been using the Windows 10 version. Obviously the development team wanted to butcher their sticky notes app to force us to switch to a better, non-Microsoft one. Thank you, development team! Without this regressive update, I would not have found a better app! I won't say which one, but it's easy to find with a quick Google search. I am not going to uninstall/remove the Microsoft version of sticky notes. Thanks again.
