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***

    This is exactly my problem. I came to the same conclusion as you about the cause. Unless lots of people complain, MS won't bother fixing it.

    Sadly and unfortunately even they get a lot of complaints they will likely not change it. They make these kinds of stupid decisions/changes that only create annoyances or unusability from something that was working great and they ignore any complaints or requests to revert. There're litanies of forum strings of users begging for them to return a form or function that was removed/negatively changed that go unanswered.  My system was just updated and I'm here a year and a half later because this horrible issue is still in effect. Stick Notes is now unusable for me. I don't want to combine ALL of my taskbar icons and even if I did I STILL have to click on every single note, one at a time, to view them.

    What ever made you think that this change would be a good one.  It is horrible, unnecessary, and totally unproductive for those of us that use multiple sticky notes. Please change this back.

    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.

    Same issue. I don't want to combine tabs for all other programs.

    Why would anyone use separate tabs for all Sticky Notes?

    Takes a lot of unnecessary space on the tab bar and there is no info on what is in the note.

    Now I'm using the Notes List view mode, but it doesn't give me the same benefit as the overview is gone.

    Hope there will be a fix!
