Taskbar Continues to Underline App Icons Even After They Have Been Closed.

I'm reaching out to address a persistent bug in Windows 24H2 (builds 26100.863 and 994) related to the taskbar behavior. Specifically, there is an issue where app icons remain underlined on the taskbar even after the respective applications have been closed. This problem is consistent across various applications and can be quite distracting for users, impacting their overall experience. 

 

As an illustration, I have included a screenshot showcasing this behavior. 

 

Operating System: Windows 24H2 (builds 26100.863 and 994)

 

Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I would be grateful if you could investigate this bug promptly and provide a resolution at your earliest convenience. 

 

Thank you for your assistance in addressing this issue.

    Restart Windows Explorer

    Sometimes, restarting Windows Explorer can resolve minor issues with the taskbar.

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
    Find and select Windows Explorer from the list of processes.
    Right-click on it and select Restart.

    2. Check for Windows Updates

    Make sure your Windows operating system is updated, as updates can fix bugs.

    Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
    Click on Update & Security.
    Click on Windows Update and then Check for updates.

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
    Find Windows Explorer in the list, right-click it, and select Restart. This will refresh the taskbar and may resolve the visual glitch.
