On version 20H2, the File Explorer on the taskbar often shows an active window with an Edge tab
- Same problem around here since august 2020. Yesterday, I found the flag #edge-window-tab-manager. If you disable it, the problem goes away. There's is a nausty bug with the integration of edge chromium in windows.
adrianghc I had the same issue on a preview build of Windows and became so frustrated with it and the fact that Microsoft was completely ignoring my reports of this problem that I reinstalled Windows and made sure I didn't use an Insider build for Windows OR a beta build of Edge. Things were great, until the October update yesterday. Now the problem has returned, with no acknowledgement of the problem or effort to fix. I've even tried turning off the Alt-Tab Edge feature, but the problem persists. The only solution I've found is to get rid of Edge and use a different browser.
- It seems to be fixed since build 20231: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2020/10/07/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-20231/
Hopefully it will soon make its way to 20H2 as well.adrianghc I ran a search for Edge and File on the link you sent and didn't find the problem. Would you mind telling me where you saw that it was fixed?
Also, I was running that build before I reinstalled Windows I still had the issue. I actually had whatever the latest insider version was as of about 6 days ago. Are you running this build and the problem is gone for you? In my experience, the problem did not always show, but over the course of a couple of days I would encounter it.- "We fixed an issue that could result in your ALT + Tab order changing unexpectedly and leading you to switch to the wrong window."
I thought that refers to the issue at hand. But I'm not running that build, it just sounded to me like it would be that. Also, the bug was acknowledged here: https://github.com/microsoft/WinDev/issues/40
