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 have Windows 11 Pro, 23H2 fully up to date.

    This problem still PERISIST to this day. This is inexcusable! Microsoft needs to get their act together and fix this. The virtual desktop feature (while a nice concept) is 100% useless because it is unusable due to this problem!!

    I will wait and see when 24H2 is available to me on normal distribution channel and hope beyond hope that this problem is fixed in that feature update. But knowing Microsoft I'd bet the problem happens with 24H2 as well.

    I do see someone commented about that they don't see this problem on 24H2. Sure hope I have the same experience.

    But even if it is fixed in 24H2 MS should have pushed the fix out in 23H2 as well!
