You're absolutely right.
Sticky Notes Icon on taskbar is not combined

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***

2021-02-21T22:33:10+00:00 Agree with everyone. It's always odd how Microsoft puts features in, people figure a way to use them in their day to day operations, and then Microsoft changes things without giving the option to keep it the same way. Just adding my opinion to the chain as well to get it changed back.

2021-05-01T13:53:29+00:00 I'm sorry but this is an absolutely nonsensical solution. You have suggested a complete change of layout settings of a main OS function to stopgap a single applet's malfunction. Not only does this not address the issue, it also patronises the user by further suggesting an article titled "How to use the taskbar".
Further, the suggested stopgap erroneously fosters the impression that this issue has a solution, and as a result the sticky note applet still maintains this ridiculous design choice in 2021, years after its first occurrence.
Utterly disingenious proposal.
