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 worked for me.

    1. Right click blank area of Desktop
    2. Select Display Settings
    3. click MultiTasking
    4. Set Virtual Desktops "On the taskbar, show windows that are open on" **** to Only the desktop I'm using

    @patdw: this definitely helped getting rid of the bug, although I don't know what other implications it might have.

    It's not really a solution, just a workaround for people who don't fully use multiple virtual desktops. ayush_i_amazing's post gives the real, though temporary solution
