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.

    This is interesting - are we all using Windows Virtual Desktops?

    I am.

    (and just as an aside, you don't need to go to Display settings first - you should be able to just hit the Start Menu (or Win-Key between Control and Alt keys) and type "multitasking" to straight to the multitasking setting page)
