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.
Same problem as everyone else here. On 20H2, heavy user of virtual desktops, running Edge Dev 91.0.845.2, yadda yadda yadda.
This has been going on for awhile, and it just eats up my taskbar real estate. Anyone know how I might gain access to that flag?
- Hm, might it have been removed with version 91? I'm on version 90 and have it. What do you get when you search for "manager" in the flags?
I get zippity-doo-dah, nada, zilch. I've already also tried searching for variations on that flag name in case they changed it slightly.
The flag does exist in my co-existing version of Edge (regular channel, not dev) version 89, so it looks like that flag disappeared in Dev version 91, which is stupid of them because disabling it in regular Edge 89 seems to fix the problem. Didn't spend a ton of time testing it, though.
In fact, it's the only thing that fixed the problem, since--as has been suggested elsewhere--disabling the new 20H2 Alt-Tab "Show Edge Tabs" functionality didn't do a **bleep** thing.
So I guess I move to Edge regular and hope that when it hits version 91, it doesn't all fall apart again? [Smiles weakly, rolls eyes]
tldr: We are all unpaid beta testers for Windows 10.BeldarConehead Search for Tab Hover cards in flags now, disabling fixed it for me.
