Disappearance of Windows 11 Taskbar Icons after Switching Virtual Desktops

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.

    Dear Microsoft,

    please stop working on those stupid "AI" features and instead fix all your existing problems. LIKE THIS ONE!
    this bug stops me from using virtual desktops more often. What a shame for one of the biggest commercial Software companies.

    Same problem, very annoying.

    Unbelievable MS does not fix it.

    Billion dollar company can not solve or does not want to solve this for their poor users.
