Windows 10: Taskbar setting

After the latest update, the taskbar does not show what windows I have open anymore except for the one I am currently on.

E.g. before, if I was on the desktop screen, the task bar would highlight that I have a Chrome window open, a Discord window open and so on.

Now if I am on the desktop, there is no way of seeing which icons I am using if it is a pinned icon. If I go to taskbar setting, I can set the "Combine taskbar buttons" to "Never" or "When taskbar is full" so it gets laid out and I can see what is open. But I want to know where or if there is the option where the icon was just highlighted if it was in use like before.

• On the pop-up window, look for the Combine taskbar buttons option.

Pinning "Settings" to the Taskbar

I've tried both suggestions. But thanks to your(?) earlier post, I do have an icon pinned to the taskbar for settings.

Both were my posts In fact, at first I forgot to post the usual steps to pin Settings to taskbar, and rather complicated (which I thought) by suggesting you create a shortcut. Hence the 2nd post. Anyway, glad the shortcut method helped.

 

Windows 10 Taskbar sometimes on top of full-screen applications

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to change the Screen Resolution and check if this helps. Follow the steps below to do the same:

• Press ‘Windows ’ key on the keyboard.
• In the search box, type Settings
  
• SelectSystem > Display > Advanced display settings.
• Under Resolution, select a new value. We suggest you stick with the resolution marked
  "(Recommended)”.

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
