Hi again,
I've been trying to pin some apps from the Windows Store to a DF taskbar (I use them in Nvidia Surround, but in regular mode I use the Windows implementation). Problem is, when I attempt to open these apps, they create a new icon on the DF taskbar, instead of connecting to the pinned item. If I remove the pinned icon, then attempt to pin from the application item, it generates a new item. So basically, when I have one of these apps open, I have duplicate icons in the DF taskbar.

This does not occur with desktop apps packaged and distributed through the Windows store (eg. Spotify), only with UWP apps (eg. Mail, Xbox, and even the Windows Store itself). These apps do have the setting in the pin options as being Metro apps.

Windows 10 1703, all latest updates. DF 9.0 Beta 3.

Just as an update, I noticed in the latest beta changelog the following line:

Unfortunately, there seems to be no visible change in this regard. Still getting separate icons for UWP apps. Windows Store apps which are desktop apps still work fine.

Hello.
Am I right, that this issue is already opened?
I have the described problem in my version, too.

Ok, what can I do to make this issue more of a priority?

cool, thank you too

I just started using DF and this issue is either still happening or has emerged again. Is the fix still beta only 2+ years later?

I was seeing this behavior with all applications I tested, including Discord, Google Chrome, and Spotify, but a reinstall seems to have fixed Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Shortcuts > Combine with Taskbar Buttons, and it is working as intended now.

I have been seeing this faulty behavior return occasionally, but I do not know how to consistently recreate it. Restarting the DisplayFusion application resolves it until it eventually returns (seemingly random).

Yes, but not all at the same time. It seems rather random which program(s) the issue affects at any given time. At the moment I am seeing it happen with the Microsoft Store version of Facebook Messenger, yet I have Chrome, Spotify, and Discord open on the same monitor without any issue of separate icons for the pinned shortcut and the open program.

I tested this with the Facebook Messenger application. The path did not change. The icon for the open application was separated from the pinned icon prior to doing the deletion + re-pinning, and doing that process unified the pinned icon and open application. This is the behavior I see when I restart DisplayFusion to temporarily resolve this issue. And then when I close and re-open Facebook Messenger, the icon of the open application is once again separated from the pinned icon. This behavior seems to be random when I close and re-open the application; sometimes the icons will be unified and sometimes separated. Let me know if I can provide any other info to troubleshoot this.
