    To assist you with your concern, we suggest you pin the File Explorer from the Start Menu by following these steps:

    • Click the Start Menu.
    • Right-click File Explorer.
    • Choose Pin to taskbar.

    The start menu does not have File explorer or All apps listed. This

    is the situation I described above. The red arrow shows the pinned icon and the blue arrow shows the one that starts when I select the pinned icon.

    Windows Explorer taskbar icon issue.

    I think you need to 'Pin to Taskbar' the File Explorer found under Start > All Apps > Windows System > File Explorer.

    Then every File Explorer window will appear listed under this one Taskbar icon with the Beige Folder.
