    Performance of Pinned Chrome Icon in Taskbar


    I just reinstalled Windows 10, and Chrome's behavior has changed. Previously, when I clicked on the pinned Chrome icon in the taskbar and a Chrome tab opened, the original pinned icon was the only Chrome icon on the taskbar; and if I clicked on that original icon, I returned to the last open Chrome tab. Now when I click on the pinned Chrome icon a second Chrome icon opens at the end of the taskbar; and if I click on the original pinned Chrome icon an entirely new Chrome window opens. I have posted this issue previously, and the only solution I have received is to move the new Chrome icon into one of the first 10 spots on the Taskbar so it then responds to a Win-Key + number keyboard shortcut. However, not all my pinned programs in the taskbar react like Chrome does. Some do not open a second icon on the taskbar and continue to connect to the instance of the program I have already opened. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

    :)

    Double Google Chrome icon on the taskbar - Windows 10

    I found yet another way, nice and simples...

    "If chrome is on your taskbar unpin it and then open start menu and drag chrome to your desktop, then open chrome and it will place an icon on your taskbar, then pin that icon to your taskbar and then delete the icon on your desktop, problem solved for me."

    Double Google Chrome icon on the taskbar - Windows 10

    Hi,

    Follow these simple steps:

    1. Open Chrome

    2. After having 2 Chrome icon, Unpin the icon that's not open

    3. Right click the other, choose pin from taskbar

    Next time you click Chrome it won't appear 2 icon on the taskbar.

    Hopefully it works for you.
