After win 10 update, sticky notes now uses a separate taskbar tab for each note. Before update, all notes were in one tab.

***Title Modified Original: sticky notes***

    Dear Microsoft,

    Kindly request to revert this change back as it is really annoying decision to completely occupy the entire toolbar with a lot of sticky notes icons. I hope you realize with this change you just added, you just ended the use of this application and you throw away it to trash.

    I already stopped using it long time ago when you introduced this annoying behavior, I switched to notepad++ plain text files but I miss sticky notes.

    Please listen to many users and leave only one icon active in the toolbar.

    Thank you.

    To all those saying just use the 'Notes list', I have 20+ notes in use (created over different times & dates) and over 100 deleted notes. Guess what shows in the 'Notes List'? All 120+ notes in date created order!!!

    Who the hell thought this change was appropriate??? And who signed off on it??? Goes to show Microsoft DON'T use their own product or else MS employees would be on here saying the same thing as us.

    And to the troll saying they've found a better app but won't tell us which... what a knob!

    Really sad. Just made my life so difficult. Not sure what the thinking was behind this... but maybe that's the point. Evidently they weren't thinking at all.

    I've been using the Notes List but it's not the same. With individual notes you can place them in various spots on the monitor and change sizes to get your attention. Not a good substitute as far as I'm concerned.

    I discovered Notes List, hope this helps until the actual fix:

    >Right click on any sticky notes tab

    >Click Notes List - Here, a new tab will appear that lists all you sticky notes

    This only takes up one tab in the task bar.

    >You can proceed on closing all other sticky notes tabs.

    Please back-up your notes first. I will not be responsible if you lose them.
