Having the same problem. Also, reported it many times in many boards. No response, no workaround suggestions, no fixes, no idea when it will finally be resolved. It's very annoying. I see only one possibility that this issue does not have a lot of attention from Microsoft. Apparently it is a problem of using Edge and most likely there won't be an issue with Chrome. I didn't switch back to Chrome only because I don't want to deal with moving my passwords and all other settings over but I'm really close to doing that.

Matman Well, I thought so, since the changelog for build 21277 says the following:
- We fixed an issue that could result in Microsoft Edge windows unexpectedly being grouped with File Explorer in the taskbar.
