Two Taskbar Icons When Dragging to Second Monitor

Community Beginner ,
Dec 23, 2023 Dec 23, 2023

I have multiple monitors connected to my computer.  When I open a PDF, it opens on a montior and there is one taskbar icon.

As soon as I drag the program to another monitor, I get two taskbar icons, like this...

Is there a way to fix this?

Well, it didn't last really long. The only workaround right now for me is to repeatly restart 'Explorer.exe' from Task Manager.

Hi @Vivacious_thinker0230

Sorry for the troubling experience.

If you're talking about a hidden taskbar item, I would like to mention that this is a known issue that is currently being worked on.

It's funny because the OP is from December 2023. We are about to accomplish 1 year of waiting to fix this issue.

I just checked and the double task bar icon issue is not happening with Adobe Acrobat 2025.001.20756 and Windows 24H2 OS Build 26100.6901, at least for now.

December 2026, I'm having this issue. I guess Adobe Acrobat isn't PhotShop. $$$$$
