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***

    IS MICROSOFT LISTENING????

    I don't think people in general are listening.  JFS_2967 above found a solution but you're all still crying about microsoft.

    Just use Stickies. I've been using it since JFS found it and it's actually better than Sticky Notes.

    That's fine for home use....

    But some of use sticky notes in a corporate environment, where installation of software is rather locked down.

    So that's not an option.

    Microsoft fixing this, though unlikely, is an option.

    It is a real nuisance to have multiple tabs for sticky notes.  I also have several sticky notes running at any point of time.  Earlier they were all grouped together under a single tab, now all the sticky note tabs are flooding my taskbar, making it extremely cluttered.  Grouping the apps in the taskbar does not help, since I always prefer to have individual tabs for individual files (such as microsoft excel worksheets, and browser tabs).  Can MS developers go back to the earlier version of grouping all the sticky note tabs under a single one?  That would be very convenient.

    My computer just updated and broke this app in just the same way.  It seems to me that they could easily please everyone with a single toggle in the setup to combine the taskbar icons or not.  I WANT my Sticky Notes icons combined.  I do NOT want my other icons combined.  Actually this would be a great toggle for MANY programs, perhaps even make it common to ALL programs!  #DareToDream

    I've just run into this problem after installing Windows update. Quite surprised that this issue having been reported several months ago still isn't fixed. Please Microsoft fix it. Why break what was working fine?

    Have just got to work to find out our PC's have been updated. Working in an online customer service, sticky notes was a great tool to have prepared canned response one click away. This update has left the majority of the office very pissed off as it makes our job 100x harder. None of the solutions above apply as most of us have 30+ notes on our desktops, now we have no way of getting to them quickly without minimising every other window to get to them and open the right windows back up to paste the response. Whoever though this up is actually thick. A really useful tool destroyed, I hope Microsoft fix this.
