  1. Pinned app showing different icon


    I need help with a problem with my computer.I am using Windows 11, and one of the apps I have pinned to my taskbar is showing the wrong icon - it looks like a page instead of the app's usual icon. This problem is only happening for one app, and I have tried some basic troubleshooting steps from YouTube, but nothing has worked. The app that is affected is called Blender.

    :)

  2. Is it possible to pin different apps on a taskbar on different virtual desktops in Windows 10?

    Hi,



    You can personalize the desktop of two computers by pinning the apps, documents and other programs to the taskbar.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you referring to dual screen desktop feature of the computer?
    • Do you want to personalize two different PC taskbars?


    You can differ personalizing taskbar applications on different computers. You can either pin the same or differ the applications, programs or games on the computer taskbar according to the necessity.



    To pin the apps to taskbar, follow the steps below:



    • Click on Windows logo key on the keyboard to open
      Start menu
      .
    • Right click on the app and select Pin to taskbar option from the context menu.
    • Close the window and check if the app is pinned to taskbar.


    Refer to Get Started with Windows 10 Love it? Pin it and check if it helps.

    • Look for the app.

    Show Icons for Chrome Apps when Pinned to Start

    So, is there a reason it no longer shows the app icon you pin, but instead shows just the Chrome icon? Makes it annoying when you want to pin multiple apps.
