Starting today an invisible window named DesktopWindowXamlSource appears on my Win 10 Pro taskbar. Closing this window shuts down OneDrive so it has something to do with OneDrive. All updates are installed on this PC. How do I get rid of this annoying icon on the taskbar. Thanks.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
same here.
well, the window on the taskbar annoys me more so I'll use the workaround anyway, but I'd prefer an actual fix for this (one that maybe doesn't reintroduce this issue in a later update again). I need this feature to be turned on so I can see notifications from any application on my main monitor, not just from those that are opened on that same monitor.
Most Welcome my friend!
ok after latest Windows 10 update I have also this issue since yesterday. **** Microsoft how to fix it. ? Solution on this forum isn`t fix. I am using multiple monitors and i need virttual desktop on "all desktops"
Yes, I also use multiple desktops and it works for me. I think what happens is because Onedrive spans all virtual desktops and if the feature is on, then it shows the access points for the desktops rather than just the current one.
Several days ago right clicking on the DesktopWindowXamlSource on the task bar and then clicking on "close window" makes it go away until I reboot. Since the window goes away, it is no longer a bother to me.
