Windreaver Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) From yesterday, the icon on Affinity application on Win11 Taskbar suddenly disappears. As shown in the attached screenshot. Pls help ! Thanks! Edited December 21, 2024 by Windreaver Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Welcome to the Affinity forums, @Windreaver. Did you do anything to your system yesterday, such as updating Windows, or updating the Affinity applications, or installing some other software? Have you restarted Windows to see if that resolves the problem?

Windreaver Posted December 23, 2024 Author Posted December 23, 2024 Thank you for the reply, Walt ! I did nothing but just installed an update of Win11 that was pushed to me days ago. Restarting Windows didn't help. One more thing, if I restart windows explorer in Task Manager, the icon is back. But it's annoying each time I have to do so... 🫠 Quote

I've seen that sometimes, too, and it affects more than the Affinity applications.

Hopefully there's an update from Windows that can fix this issue.🙂 Quote

PaulEC Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 FWIW: Since updating to Windows 11 the buttons on my scanning software have disappeared, but hitting the Alt key brings them back!
