Windows 11 22H2
In Windows 11's built-in virtual desktop feature, there is a high probability that icons of active applications on the current desktop may not be displayed when switching between different virtual desktops. The icons only appear when I click on the respective application. I have attempted to resolve the issue through restarts and using Sfc and Dism for repairs, but the problem persists. An essential configuration to note is that the taskbar is set to display windows only from the current desktop.

    I don't think so, I've been experiencing this bug since windows 10, and from then to know, rughly maybe 2/3 years using windows in my day to day basis(linux fan hehe), they've not put any effort on fixing the bug....

    Maybe is because they know that just a few people use that feature, that it's not their priority.
