Sticky Notes Icon on taskbar is not combined

As far as I know the problem has not been fixed. Microsoft has a long history of making stupid changes to features people really like. I assume they think we're captive and don't give a damn.

I'm sure their metrics will show app use has dropped so obviously the app should be discontinued, all while never  figuring out why people stopped using it.

Fitting!

I have been using "simple sticky notes" since a year and was hoping that a year would be enough for Microsoft to come up with a solution. They do provide a good sync function for those notes, which could be used really well.

THIS is why i disable Windows 10 updates and block via my 3rd party firewall, any windows services from calling home. Every time an update rolls out it breaks something. I've spent way too many hours fixing something after a FORCED update when i've got better things to do. I've hated the forced update system since the beginning of Win10. I am still amazed why there's still no big revolt. Microsoft is so authoritarian no more so that with Windows 10. 

Anyway this time i had accidentally left my 3rd party firewall OFF overnight and during a reboot. Next morning. Updates were awaiting. I have 3 screens and most, not all, of my notes reside on the left screen. Yet after the m$ forced update i found all my notes on the main center screen AND the task bar labels all separated (not stacked like before). So so so so effing annoying.

Strangely though, when i look at display settings the left screen turns out to be the primary screen, with the center and right screen being screens 2 and 3. Now curiously any sticky notes i drag to the primary screen stack normal with labels on the the side as normal. However, any sticky notes i drag to the secondary screens (screens 2 and 3) do not stack and are shown on the taskbar separately aka not stacked. Dragging a sticky note from a secondary screen to the primary screen stacks properly only on the primary screen.

I don't really have time for this.
