For some explicable reason over the past couple of weeks when I start the calibre 64 bit edition from the taskbar it doesn't always combine the running instance icon with the pinned icon. It will for a while (as in hours) but then it starts creating a separate icon for the running instance...

One gets this behavior if the task bar icon takes one to a short cut (e.g. in ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs) to run the application instead of directly running the application's .exe.
My 64 bit Calibre installation gives 2 icons on the task bar too, not sure how long it has been doing so though, haven't taken much notice. But it is run from a shortcut in the directory I mentioned; other applications not run from short cuts behind the icons on the task bar don't give 2 icons. Calibre Editor does the same thing it running from a shortcutted task icon (and I suspect the other Calibre bits when run stand alone in the same way would too).
Not sure how it comes to happen to be run from a shortcut, I suspect something happens during the installation or updating.
Hope that helps, if so wish me a virtual beer
