    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.

    Hi Amit,

    Thanks for your quick response. Technically, It does solve the problem of duplicate tabs but it's not exactly what I was hoping for. I'd still like to see the tab labels. Prior to the update, only the Sticky Notes tabs were combined but all other tabs were not, and all tabs were labeled. I'm still looking for a solution that restores my earlier configuration. I would settle for combined tabs if they had labels. Something in Win 10, version 1903 has changed Sticky Notes. 

    I appreciate your help.
