Calibre on taskbar in Win 10?

Phssthpok · 11-17-2017, 01:24 PM

I recently upgraded to calibre 3.11, and also got the Win 10 Creator's Update. I have Calibre on my taskbar, but now when I start it a second copy of the icon appears on the taskbar for the running process. This is what it looks like (hovering the mouse over the right-hand icon of the two):

I used to have only the one icon, underlined if running like the right-hand one of the pair, not underlined like the left one if not running. Clicking on the left icon tries to start a second Calibre instance, and after a few seconds takes me to the instance which is already running.

This doesn't happen with any of my other quick-launch taskbar programs. Is this a Calibre issue, or a Windows issue?

Phssthpok - Right click the 2nd calibre icon and select Pin to taskbar, then delete the other one.

I take it that you are starting from a pinned taskbar icon?
Unpin.
Then start Calibre from the Start menu, then PIN
No issue here W10 pro same edition

OK, thanks.

I wonder why it happened... but then, I often wonder why things happen with Windows...
