A huge thank you to this Insiders group

So I installed the stable release yesterday ... all great and looks good 🙂
However ... I pinned this to the taskbar and expected this work as normal, i.e. the window would open in that slot. BUT it opened a new window outside the pinned area - furthermore now the Beta build does the same which it did not do before I installed the stable release.
Is this just me or .... ?

Hi,
Admittedly, I may not be exactly on the right or same wavelength with, but, I'll toss this at you, anyway, FWIW. Let's say a site was pinned whilst you were using Dev. Now, you have Edge (non-beta) open. And you open the pinned item. At a glance they look like the same browser, BUT, it has, actually, opened Dev, separately & on top of the Edge browser. It has to be things that were pinned with (GA) Edge not, previously, using a beta Channel.
If I've misunderstood you, just ignore what I wrote.
Cheers,
Drew
Ummm ... I reckon I was not too clear initially - my bad
So what I was trying to say was:
When you pin something to the taskbar - as an example let's take Windows File Explorer - it normally resides in the left hand side of the taskbar next to the Start Meny/Search/Taask View as an icon ....
When you click on that - again let's take Windows File Explorer - the respective windows opens, but instead of having a separate taskbar button it 're-uses' the pinned taskbar icon which is then expanded with the window header text etc.
The pinned icon is pinned from Edge Stable in the Start menu btw - not a pinned site ...
This also happens with Edge Chromium Beta/Dev/Canary - but not with Edge stable ... Edge Stable open a new additional taskbar button and leaves the pinned taskbar icon untouched ...
I hope I make sense ?
