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***

    I have found a solution to our problem.  I searched for hours on the internet but every application didn't do what the old sticky notes did until I found https://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/

    This free program is exactly what works.  I even donate $5.00 to this guy because I was so happy with his program.  And all his program is, is the old sticky notes.  I am so happy.

    You Frickin' legend! Nice find!! Bye Bye MS Sticky Notes...

    Sticky Jokes is more like it.  What a terrible change.

    Seriously, put it back to 1 taskbar item ever.  Opening and closing individually makes this app no longer usable.

    The only solution right now is:

    1. Open the notes list
    2. Close the note windows

    This will bring all into one page, and one window. doesnt look as classy as a sticky note but still good

    Just found this thread which describes exactly what Microsoft broke after the update I just applied. I have many sticky notes too, and now they take up my entire task bar. Combining taskbar buttons (Microsoft's proposed solution) is not a reasonable solution

    • I like them separate for my other windows.

    There is no reason every sticky note should be considered a separate window - please just put it back the way it was where there was ONLY ONE BUTTON on the taskbar, no matter how many notes you had. It is not usable with this new broken behavior, and if it's not fixed, I'm going to switch over to Google Keep instead (which, unfortunately, is not as integrated with the desktop :-(
