After win 10 update, sticky notes now uses a separate taskbar tab for each note. Before update, all notes were in one tab.

Not a bad idea but I don't think it's a bug. It looks like a deliberate change. There have been many complaints about the problem but Microsoft isn't really sensitive to the needs of their customers. I understand that Win 11 doesn't fix the problem and may cause unfavorable issues with the start screen icons. Have to wait to find out.
It's "solved" in Windows 11 - all taskbar items are combined and can't be shown individually. Ironically, they've solved this issue while completely mucking up the task bar.
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.
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!
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.
