    Icon doesn't stay pinned to the TaskBar


    I saw threads from 2017 about this and they were closed. I have to say that today everything updated as of the creation of this thread that for instance, Messenger beta pinned to the Taskbar from the Start menu, will be pinned ok but after closing the app, the icon goes away disappear from Taskbar.


    This is very troubling.

    :)

    Icon staying pinned to taskbar

    I pin messenger icon to my taskbar - it stays for a couple of hours then disappears.

    How do I get it to stay?

    I have clicked pin to taskbar and it stays then goes.

    We suggest doing a clean install instead, since other steps provided did not work. Click

    We'll wait for the result.

    Icon doesn't stay pinned to the TaskBar

    Icon staying pinned to taskbar

    It is only with messenger icon.

    I have had the icon on my taskbar for years without a problem.

    I open messenger and click the "pin to taskbar".

    It must accept the instruction as if you check later "unpin to taskbar is an option".

    It may stay on the taskbar an hour or 2 unopened, and then it just disappears.

    Sometimes it disppears when I close the app down, despite having pinned to taskbar.

    No consistency

    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks.
