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.

    This is seriously terrible.  I know it must seem so petty to Microsoft, but for so many people, like myself, the sticky note app was useful for storing those quickly needed lists or items to copy/paste and keep them handy.  But not if they are going to take up half of the task bar.  That's simply ludicrous.  I will be looking for an alternative app, unfortunately as this is no longer usable.

    2 major problems now

    1. I now have the problem of a bunch of sticky note tabs on my taskbar when I use to have just one. I don't want to hide my labels on my other taskbar buttons which now I'm forced to do.
    2. I use to be able to click on the one sticky note tab and all my sticky notes would open up exactly where I wanted them on my screen.  There was usefulness in doing that and now I can't.  Just like in real life you could put a sticky note wherever you wanted and now you can't.

    This sucks.  If there was another program like the old sticky notes use to work I would switch in a heartbeat.

    I have the same problem, I have over 10 sticky notes and when I want to maximize/minimize them all, I need to do it each note. This sucks actually.

    Same problem, not sure how anyone could see this as an improvement.
