  1. Taskbar icon flashing


    When you start a program in Windows, the icon on the taskbar flashes Orange, presumably to alert you that it's open (as though you did not know already that XD).
    I want it to not do that.

    It is incredibly distracting, and not very user-friendly trying to work and iTunes or some other background app wants to update and can potentially flash for a literal eternity until you go to it, even if you really don't want to (I saw you the first 27 times bro, you can stop flashing now, you damn attention ****).
    Flashing apps are, well, they're just a stupid design choice tbh. How do I get rid of this flashing notification thing entirely and kill it indefinitely?
    I have tried the common foregroundflash RegEdit with a value set to 0, and that didn't help at all.

    :)

    • Click on the search bar on the taskbar.

    • Type system icons.

    • Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.

    Hope it helps.
