Disappearance of Windows 11 Taskbar Icons after Switching Virtual Desktops

Anonymous

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.

Bit of a joke that this is still a thing. It's a microcosm of Windows 11 itself. Trivial things that don't work properly and it is embarrassing that a company this big can't just...fix it.

True...they're a joke.

This is still a thing after so many people brought this issue up months and months ago...

They remind me of KDE on the Linux side: always adding features, never bothering about bugs...

It seem to be fixed on beta month ago, but never be dropped to stable. Annoying

I'm currently using the preview version 23H2 22635.3930 from the beta channel, and the issue still persists
