Windows 10: Taskbar to show how many windows opened

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Is it possible for the Windows 10 taskbar to give me some sort of indication as to how many windows I have opened for a particular application?

For example, in Windows 7, if I have multiple browser windows (not tabs) opened, the taskbar would show a graphical representation of how many windows I have opened (Imgur).

In Windows 10, I only see a small bar next to the icon that represents either one window or multiple windows. Is there a way to configure Windows 10 to be able to see how many windows I have opened (just like in Windows 7)?

:)

 

Windows 10 Settings Icon is Blank on Taskbar when Running and Taskbar is Set to Small Icons

I have my taskbar set to small icons.

If I open "Settings" the app opens and a tile is started in the taskbar but the icon does not show on the tile. It is just blank.

If I change the taskbar to large icons then the settings icon shows but I have too many icons to run Windows in large icon mode.

I have tried to delete the icon cache and reboot but the problem remains.

 

Windows 10, Excel 2010, Multiple Displays, and Taskbar

Using Windows 10 with two diplays, even though I selected "Show taskbar on all displays" and "Show taskbar buttons on Taskbar where windows is open" and "Never combine buttons on other taskbars", Excel 2010 buttons still only appear on Main Taskbar even
though more than one Excel window is open on Other Display. They should both appear on Other taskbar, and not at all on Main. How to resolve? Thanks

 

That would have to be third party to give a number, if you mouse hover over the icon (it's not a "bar", but showing multiple instances of that icon so to speak, stacked) you would see windows open to show you each.

 

Sorry, I'm not looking for a number to appear on the icon. I'm looking for some sort of visual indication on the icon that shows how many windows of that particular app is opened.

 

Taskbar > properties > taskbar buttons > never combine ? Not exactly what your looking for but it should show you how many instances are open. Your taskbar will get cluttered up a bit though.

 

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant this (highlighted in green): Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

 

That's how my taskbar looks? An extra bar down the side for each extra instance of that program.

 

This is a native Windows 10 behavior. Just make sure you don't have small icons selected in taskbar options.

 

I'm guessing it was an 'Aero' feature that got dropped with, or after Windows 8. I could be wrong though.

 

I don't have any third party themes or other features installed and it shows under active applications icon.

 

Same here but it still only shows as 'two' even if you have more open.

 

I've missed that! Only checked if second windows shows. *Doh

Sorry OP, if I misled you in any way, and thanks Edwin to point it out to me.

 

Yeah, I missed that too.

 

Cool, no problem. Thanks guys *Smile
