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.

Sure, the update record includes the KB5032190 update, dated November 16, 2023, but I believe the occurrence of the issue predates that date. Here is my update record:

I have this issue, too.
Mine last version of update is KB5032190 & KB5032007.
exact same issue, wouldn't mind a fix either.
I'd post a snip but it seems like this board doesn't support that.
Same here. Happens when I switch active desktop and come back. Restarting explorer.exe fixes the icon, but next time I switch desktops it goes missing again.
