Windows 10: [HELP REQUESTED] "Microsoft Edge (2)" always appears when I right click even though I have...

Hi all, I am kind of confused from this because I have no idea why this shows up like this on my taskbar. I don't have any windows running for Edge and it somehow displays as "Microsoft Edge (2)"...It's interesting to note that when I click "Unpin from taskbar" and open it up through the Start menu, and then I right click, it displays a normal "Microsoft Edge" without the (2).

Can anyone here give some advice or anything? What's going on? It doesn't impact performance, and it behaves as intended, there's just a (2). Any help is greatly appreciated, as I got some OCD and can't tolerate this damn (2) when nothing is open, LOL. Thank you!



Pinned to taskbar '(2)' no windows open at all.

Unpinned and no '(2)' running one instance of Edge.
