    Highlight on an application on the taskbar won't go away


    Whenever I highlight an application on the taskbar the highlight background won't go away, only restarting the windows explorer resets it but after a little bit, it comes back and never goes away until I restart windows explorer. In the picture it shows the highlight on the right side. Both applications are not open

    :)

    Applications won`t maximize

    Following a W10 update, applications only open as minimised on the taskbar and won`t maximize. I have tried closing them minimised but no good. Can anyone help ? thanks

    How to configure taskbar to highlight open applications, like in win7?


    In the taskbar, Win10 only highlights the active application icon. The other icons look the same, regardless if the application is open or not.

    Is there an option to make all open, running applications highlight in the taskbar like in Win7? Thanks!
