"Show taskbar buttons on: All Taskbars" setting keeps resetting on sleep

Hi Customer,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Based on the original description, we understand that your device is experiencing an unusual automatic reset of settings.

The system itself does not have the ability to change specific settings automatically and proactively.

This phenomenon may be related to certain “file states”, “computer states”. The settings item related to the taskbar revert to the state they were in at a particular point in time for unknown reasons.

Changes in power management policies, power status of the device may be one of the relevant factors, while corruption of the profile itself may be also an indirect factor.

If possible, would you mind sharing more information about this issue with us?

• Were there any special events in the device before the situation first occurred? For example, system update, driver update, application update, BIOS update, firmware update?
• Is the situation the same when you observe it in a relatively clean environment (for example, new local account, safe mode)? Manage user accounts in Windows - Microsoft Support Windows startup settings - Microsoft Support
• Is the situation the same if you adjust options in your system that may be related to power management or file status? For example, fast startup, hibernation. Wake on LAN behavior - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn How to disable and re-enable hibernation - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn

If I misunderstand your situation, feel free to correct me and share the information.

I am experiencing the same issue. This started occurring after the most recent Windows 10 update (KB5043064).

Hey Kyo,

I have never messed with my startup or power settings, so I don't think that is the cause. I can test booting up in safe mode to see if it reproduces the bug or not.

My best guess is that this is being caused by a recent update. I ruled out file corruption because SFC /scannow did not resolve the issue, leading me to believe it was some sort of update from MSFT that caused it (BIOS, firmware, etc). I did not note a specific update or point in time where the issue began, though it was sometime in the last 3-4 weeks.

I'm having the same issue as well. It's driving me crazy as I often use those buttons on secondary monitor and I keep thinking the app must be closed.

It started from an update around last month or so.

currently on windows 10 pro 22H2 19045.4894

I'm having this same issue and I'm just wondering if you've found a permanent fix yet.

Thanks.
