Windows 10: What happened to the pinned apps Windows taskbar running/not running indication

On Windows 10 it's harder to see if a pinned taskbar app is currently running, on Windows 11, this is no longer the case as a running app now has a tiny underline accent. How do we make that accent bigger again?

Pinning an app to taskbar does not remove it from Start all apps list. It list in Start under letter M as in Microsoft Edge, you should find it there even when it is pinned to taskbar.
