Hello Daniel,

I just (finally) upgraded to Spyder 6 within my Anaconda 3.

Some time ago I "complained" that when Spyder opens up

by my clicking on its task bar icon in Windows 11, Spyder

then opens a whole new taskbar icon, which is really annoying

if the initial taskbar icon is on the first level of taskbar icons and

the newly opened one is on the second level of icons (I know 

that's too many icons on my taskbar, but that's a separate issue ... :)

Anyway, just wondering if that's a Spyder thing or a Windows

thing, and if anyone is looking at that "issue" ... 

Meantime, thanks for all your hard work ... Spyder is still a great product!

Thanks,

Porter

Hi Porter,

Thank you for the feedback! Regarding the taskbar issue you mention, I think it could be related with menuinst (the package used to interact with menus/shortcuts for conda packages). Also, we currently have an issue for a double icon in the taskbar that could be related with the described behavior (Two Spyder icons on Windows taskbar (regression?) · Issue #24292 · spyder-ide/spyder).

Let us know if this info helps!

Best regards,

Daniel
